DTC P0335

Step Action Values Yes No
Schematic Reference: Engine Controls Schematics
Connector End View Reference: Engine Controls Connector End Views or Powertrain Control Module Connector End Views
1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2 Attempt to start the engine.
Does the engine start and run?
- Go to Step 3  Go to Step 8 
3 Observe the 18X Crank Sensor parameter with the scan tool.
Does the 18X Crank Sensor parameter change with engine speed?
- Go to Step 4  Go to Step 5

  1. Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
  3. Start the engine.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records.
Does the DTC fail this ignition?
- Go to Step 5  Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the ignition control module (ICM).
  3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  4. Connect a test lamp to a good ground.
  5. Probe the medium resolution engine speed signal circuit at the ICM connector with the test lamp. Refer to Probing Electrical Connectors .
Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 10  Go to Step 6 
6
  1. Connect the test lamp to battery voltage.
  2. Probe the medium resolution engine speed signal circuit at the ICM connector with the test lamp.
Does the test lamp illuminate?
- Go to Step 9  Go to Step 7 
7
  1. Observe the 18X Crank Sensor parameter with the scan tool.
  2. Probe the medium resolution engine speed signal circuit repeatedly at the ICM connector with the test lamp.
Does the 18X Crank Sensor RPM change?
- Go to Step 13  Go to Step 11 
8
  1. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
  2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  3. Measure the voltage from the CKP sensor 2 signal circuit to a good ground with a DMM.
Is the voltage within the specified range?
4-8 V Go to Step 14  Go to Step 12 
9 Test the medium resolution engine speed signal circuit between the ICM and the powertrain control module (PCM) for a short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Step 19 
10 Test the medium resolution engine speed signal circuit between the ICM and the PCM for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Step 19 
11 Test the medium resolution engine speed signal circuit between the ICM and the PCM for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Step 16 
12 Test the CKP sensor 2 signal circuit for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Step 15 
13 Inspect for the following conditions:
  • Incorrect harness routing near secondary ignition components
  • The ignition coil arcing to the wiring harness or to the ICM
  • The ignition coils for cracks, carbon tracking, or other signs of damage-Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement .
  • Spark plug wires arcing-Refer to Spark Plug Wire Replacement .

Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Step 15 
14 Test for an intermittent or for poor connections at the CKP sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Step 17 
15 Test for an intermittent or for poor connections at the ICM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Step 18 
16 Test for poor connections at the PCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?
- Go to Step 20  Go to Step 19 
17 Replace the CKP sensor. Refer to Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 20  -
18 Replace the ICM. Refer to Ignition Control Module Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 20  -
19 Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
Did you complete the replacement?
- Go to Step 20  -
