P0335 : Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Malfunction

Quick Answer
Critique GraviteConduite deconseilleeAllumage

P0335 means the engine control unit is not receiving a valid signal from the crankshaft position sensor. This sensor tells the ECU where the crankshaft is in its rotation, which is essential for fuel injection and ignition timing. Without it, the engine may not start or may stall unexpectedly.

Que signifie P0335 ?

P0335 means the engine control unit is not receiving a valid signal from the crankshaft position sensor. This sensor tells the ECU where the crankshaft is in its rotation, which is essential for fuel injection and ignition timing. Without it, the engine may not start or may stall unexpectedly.

P0335 est un code defaut lie a allumage, classe en gravite critical. Lorsque le calculateur de ton vehicule detecte cette condition, il enregistre P0335 et allume le voyant moteur.

Quels sont les symptomes de P0335 ?

Si ton vehicule a declenche P0335, tu peux remarquer un ou plusieurs de ces symptomes :

  • Engine cranks but will not start
  • Intermittent stalling, especially when warm
  • Check engine light on
  • Engine cuts out suddenly while driving
  • Rough running or hesitation
  • Tachometer drops to zero or behaves erratically

Quelles sont les causes de P0335 ?

Voici les causes les plus courantes de P0335, classees selon la probabilite qu'elles soient en cause :

eleveeFailed crankshaft position sensor
moyenneDamaged or corroded wiring to the sensor
moyenneLoose or dirty sensor connector
faibleDamaged reluctor ring (tone wheel) on the crankshaft
faibleECU fault (rare)

Peut-on rouler sans risque avec P0335 ?

Non, regle ca immediatement. A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall without warning, including at motorway speeds. The engine may also refuse to start. Do not drive until this is resolved.

Comment diagnostique-t-on P0335 ?

Suis ces etapes pour identifier la cause profonde de P0335 :

  1. Connect a scanner and check for the P0335 code along with any companion codes such as P0336 (range/performance) or P0340 (camshaft sensor)
  2. Inspect the crankshaft position sensor connector for corrosion, oil contamination, or loose pins. Clean and re-seat the connector
  3. Test the sensor output with a multimeter. For a Hall-effect sensor, check for 5V reference, ground, and signal. For a magnetic sensor, measure resistance (typically 200-2000 ohms depending on the make)
  4. Inspect the wiring harness from the sensor to the ECU for chafing, breaks, or heat damage. Pay attention to areas near the exhaust
  5. If the sensor and wiring test good, inspect the reluctor ring on the crankshaft pulley for missing teeth, cracks, or debris

Questions frequentes sur P0335

Can a bad crankshaft position sensor cause a no-start?

Yes. The crankshaft position sensor provides the primary signal that tells the ECU when to fire the spark plugs and injectors. Without this signal, most engines will crank but refuse to start entirely.

What does the crankshaft position sensor do?

It monitors the rotational speed and position of the crankshaft using a toothed reluctor ring. The ECU uses this data to precisely time fuel injection and ignition events. It is one of the most critical engine sensors.

Why does my car stall when warm with P0335?

Heat-related stalling is a classic symptom of a failing crankshaft position sensor. As the sensor heats up, internal components expand and lose their ability to generate a clean signal. The engine often restarts after cooling down.

How much does it cost to replace a crankshaft position sensor?

The sensor itself typically costs 20 to 100 EUR. Labour ranges from 50 to 200 EUR depending on the sensor location. On many vehicles it is accessible from underneath or behind the engine, making it a straightforward replacement.

Can I replace the crankshaft position sensor myself?

On many cars it is a moderate DIY job. The sensor is usually held in by one or two bolts. The challenge is access, as it is often located low on the engine block near the starter or behind the crankshaft pulley. You will need a jack and possibly a socket extension.
