Caution / Notice / Hint

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lexus RC 350, 2017 Lexus RC 300, 2016 Lexus RC 350, 2016 Lexus RC 300, and 2015 Lexus RC 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

HINT:

After performing the inspection procedure for the crankshaft position sensor, if DTC P0335 is output again, check the following items related to the VVT sensor.
- Installation condition of the VVT sensor.
- Installation condition of the camshaft.
- Connection of the VVT sensor connector.
If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, troubleshoot the engine mechanical system.
The engine speed can be checked by using the Techstream. To perform the check, follow the procedures below:
1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Start the engine.
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Primary / Engine Speed.
1. The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine running normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the crankshaft position sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as lower than the actual engine speed if the crankshaft position sensor output voltage is insufficient.
Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
