DTC |
P033515 |
Crankshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Short to Battery or Open |
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor system consists of a No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate and Magneto Resistance Element (MRE) type sensor. The No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate has 34 teeth at 10° intervals (2 teeth are missing for detecting top dead center), and is installed on the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor generates 34 signals per crankshaft revolution. The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor signal (NE signal) to detect the crankshaft position and engine speed.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the output voltage transmitted by the crankshaft position sensor remains low or high, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
HINT:
-
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.

-
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Click here
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the power switch on (IG) [A].
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Wait 5 seconds or more [B].
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
-
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P033511 or P033515.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.

Description
NORMAL
ABNORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE
- DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
HINT:
- If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
-
[A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the auxiliary battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the Freeze Frame Data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.
Click here
(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)
Click here
-
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU assembly, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.

HINT:
-
The engine speed can be checked by using the Techstream. To perform the check, follow the procedures below:
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
-
Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).
Click here
- Start the engine.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Engine Speed.
- The engine speed may be indicated as zero despite the engine running normally. This is caused by a lack of NE signals from the crankshaft position sensor. Alternatively, the engine speed may be indicated as lower than the actual engine speed if the crankshaft position sensor output voltage is insufficient.
- Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

(g) Read the values displayed on the Techstream while the engine is running.
Standard:
Correct values are displayed.
HINT:
- To check the engine speed change, display the graph on the Techstream.
- If the engine does not start, check the engine speed while cranking.
- If the engine speed indicated on the Techstream remains at zero (0), there may be an open or short in the crankshaft position sensor circuit.
