Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).



Diagnostic Test

1. ACTIVE DTC

Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the DTC active at this time?

Yes


No

2. CHECKING CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL WITH A LAB SCOPE

Turn the ignition off.
With a lab scope probe and the Miller special tool #6801, backprobe the (K24) CKP Signal circuit in the Sensor harness connector.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.


Ignition on, engine not running.
Observe the lab scope screen.
Start the engine.
Observe the lab scope screen.

Are there any irregular or missing signals?

Yes


No

3. WIRE HARNESS INSPECTION

Turn the ignition off.
Visually inspect the related wire harness including the ground circuit. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
Visually inspect the related wire harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.
Make sure the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Camshaft Position Sensor are properly installed and the mounting bolt(s) are torqued to the proper specification.
Refer to any TSBs that may apply.

Were any of the above conditions present?

Yes


No

4. (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORTED TO GROUND



Disconnect the CKP Sensor connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage on the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit in the Sensor harness connector.

Is the voltage between 4.5 and 5.2 volts?

Yes


No

5. TONE WHEEL/FLEX PLATE INSPECTION

Turn the ignition off.
Carefully disconnect the Negative Battery (Ground) cable.
Remove the Crankshaft Position Sensor.
Inspect the Tone Wheel/Flex Plate slots for damage, foreign material, or excessive movement.

Were any problems found?

Yes


No

6. CHECKING CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL WITH A LAB SCOPE

Install the CKP Sensor and connect the battery cable.

NOTE: An intermittent condition in the Cam Position Sensor can cause the P0339 to set.


With the a lab scope probe and the Miller special tool #6801, backprobe the (K44) CMP Signal circuit in the Sensor harness connector.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.


Ignition on, engine not running.
Wiggle the related wire harness and lightly tap on the Cam Position Sensor.
Observe the lab scope screen.
Start the engine.
Observe the lab scope screen.

Are there any irregular or missing signals?

Yes


No

7. CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR


If there are no possible causes remaining, view repair.

Repair

8. (K24) CKP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.
Disconnect the CKP Sensor harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Measure the voltage on the (K24) CKP Signal circuit in the Sensor harness connector.
Wiggle the related wire harness while taking this measurement.

Is the voltage above 0 volts?

Yes


No

9. (K24) CKP SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN



Turn the ignition off.

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.


Measure the resistance in the (K24) CKP Signal circuit from the CKP harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.
Wiggle the wire harness while taking this measurement.

Is the resistance below 1.0 ohm?

Yes


No

10. (K24) CKP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND



Measure the resistance between ground and the (K24) CKP Signal circuit in the CKP Sensor harness connector.
Wiggle the related wire harness while monitoring the resistance value.

Does the resistance ever drop below 100 ohms?

Yes


No

11. (K24) CKP SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (F855) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT



Measure the resistance between the (F855) 5-volt Supply circuit and the (K24) CKP Signal circuit in the CKP harness connector.
Wiggle the related wire harness while taking this measurement.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

12. PCM

NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.


Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes


No
