The following conditions may cause this DTC to set:

Excessive air gap between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel.
Crankshaft reluctor wheel damage or improper installation.
Foreign material passing between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel.

Excess crankshaft end play causes the CKP sensor reluctor wheel to move out of alignment with the CKP sensor. This could result in any one of the following:

A no-start.
A start and stall.
Erratic performance.
