Symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Vehicle may not start (see above)
- Vehicle may run rough or misfire
Likely causes
- A P0335 "check engine light" code could be caused by
- Damaged CKP sensor connector
- Damaged reluctor ring (missing teeth or not turning due to sheared-off keyway)
- Sensor output open
- Sensor output shorted to ground
- Sensor output shorted to voltage
- Failed crank sensor
What to check, in order
- Read the code and freeze-frame data with an OBD-II scanner
- Check the connector and wiring of the part named in the code
- Test the part with scanner live data or a multimeter, using the values in the repair manual
- Fix the cause, clear the code and test-drive
Causes and checks above are the general meaning. The exact test steps and values differ by car: open your car’s page.
