Does anyone have a procedure for testing the Crank Position Sensor? I did a timing belt change this past weekend and threw a code yesterday morning as the car went into safe mode. Pulled the code and its for the CPS. I haven't gotten in there yet, but I'm hoping I just forgot to hook it back up. In the event it might be bad, I'd love to be able to test this sensor before replacing it blindly.

TIA

Yeah man, I'll get one to you tonight when I get home from work as I don't have access to it here. Give me about 6 hours.

What exact code are you throwing? P1381, P1382, P1359? There are several to choose from and I would need the specific code to really drill down into the troubleshooting procedure.

Here you go man, complete with pics!


DTC P0335: CKP Sensor No Signal, DTC P0336: CKP Sensor Intermittent
Interruption, DTC P0339: CKP Sensor Intermittent Interruption
NOTE:Information marked with an asterisk (*) applies to '01-03 models.
Information marked with an asterisk (**) applies to '04 model.


1. Reset the ECM/PCM (see HOW TO RESET THE ECM/PCM ).

2. Start the engine.

Is DTC P0335 and/or P0336* (P0339)* indicated?
YES - Go to step 3.
NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CKP sensor and at the ECM/PCM.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

4. Disconnect the CKP sensor 3P connector.

5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

6. Measure voltage between CKP sensor 3P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

Fig 82


Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 7.
NO - Repair open in the wire between PGM-FI main relay 1 and the CKP sensor.

7. Measure voltage between CKP sensor 3P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.

Fig 83


Is there about 5 V?
YES - Go to step 8.
NO - Go to step 10.

8. Measure voltage between CKP sensor 3P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3.

Fig. 84


Is there battery voltage?
YES - Go to step 9.
NO - Repair open in the wire between the CKP sensor and G101.

9. Substitute a known-good CKP sensor and recheck.

10. Is DTC P0335 and/or P0336 (P0339) indicated?

YES - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck (see HOW TO SUBSTITUTE OR REPLACE THE ECM/PCM ). If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.
NO - Replace the original CKP sensor (see CKP Sensor Replacement ).
Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal A7 and body ground.

Fig. 85


Is there about 5 V?
YES - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A7) and the CKP sensor.
NO - Go to step 11.

11. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
12. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).
13. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A7 and body ground.

Fig. 86


Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A7) and the CKP sensor.
NO - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or
substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then recheck (see HOW TO SUBSTITUTE OR
REPLACE THE ECM/PCM ). If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good
ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM.

hey clint!


remember my misfire?

it was a blown head gaskett on my STOCK civic...

LOL - that's fantastic man! I wish someone would come out with a cast iron block for the Civic. Would make things soooo much easier. Bet that was fun changing out. It's my favorite repair to do on these cars!

lol the H22 engine from the prelude has a cast iron block

Thanks for the great instructions. Didn't end up needing them though. I put the car up on my lift and I was able to unplug the connector without removing anything. Contacts must have been dirty, as I sprayed some brake cleaner on each end and its now working fine, no more codes!

So I have made it to step six of testing the CKP sensor and I am reading 12 Volts with just the ignition turned on, 14 with the engine running and then once I checked what voltage is coming from the sensor, I get 1 volt. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? The engine is a used replacement engine and I have already tried the sensor that came off my old engine and an aftermarket part. All three leave me with the same code, so I am assuming it is somewhere in the wiring and not the sensor itself.
