Circuit Description
The wide band heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system and provides more information than the switching style HO2S. The wide band sensor consists of an oxygen sensing cell, an oxygen pumping cell, and a heater. The exhaust gas sample passes through a diffusion gap between the sensing cell and the pumping cell. The engine control module (ECM) supplies a voltage to the HO2S and uses this voltage as a reference to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust system. An electronic circuit within the ECM controls the pump current through the oxygen pumping cell in order to maintain a constant voltage in the oxygen sensing cell. The ECM monitors the voltage variation in the sensing cell and attempts to keep the voltage constant by increasing or decreasing the amount of current flow, or oxygen ion flow, to the pumping cell. By measuring the amount of current required to maintain the voltage in the sensing cell, the ECM can determine the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust. The HO2S voltage is displayed as a lambda value. A lambda value of 1 is equal to a stoichiometric air fuel ratio of 14.7:1. Under normal operating conditions, the lambda value will remain around 1. When the fuel system is lean, the oxygen level will be high and the lambda signal will be high or more than 1. When the fuel system is rich, the oxygen level will be low, and the lambda signal will be low or less than 1. The ECM uses this information to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio. If the ECM detects that the HO2S signal voltage is not within range, this DTC sets.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs
- DTC P0130 HO2S Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1
- DTC P0150 HO2S Circuit Bank 2 Sensor 1
Conditions for Running the DTC
- The engine is operating.
- The ignition 1 voltage is between 10.7-18 volts.
- DTC P0130 and P0150 run continuously once the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
- The ECM detects that the HO2S signal voltage is out of range.
- The above condition exists for more than 4 seconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
- The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids

DTC P0133 or P0153
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater reduces the time required for the oxygen sensor to reach operating temperature and maintains the operating temperature during extended idle periods. When the ignition is turned to the ON position, ignition voltage is supplied directly to the sensor heater. The engine control module (ECM) controls the heater operation by first modulating the control circuit to ground when the sensors are cold. This prevents the possibility of thermal shock to the sensor, from condensation build-up on the sensor, by controlling the sensors rate of heating. After a predetermined amount of time, the ECM commands the heaters ON continuously. Once the sensor reaches operating temperature, the ECM may modulate the heater control circuit to ground, to maintain a desired temperature.
The ECM measures the HO2S sensing cell internal resistance. If the ECM detects that the HO2S sensing cell internal resistance is too high, this DTC sets.

DTC P0135 or P0155

DTC P0138 or P0158
The engine control module (ECM) supplies a voltage near 450 mV between the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) high signal circuit and the low reference circuit. The HO2S varies the voltage over a range from about 1,000 mV when the exhaust is rich, down through about 10 mV when the exhaust is lean.
The ECM monitors and stores the HO2S voltage information. The ECM evaluates the HO2S voltage samples in order to determine the amount of time that the HO2S voltage was out of range. The ECM compares the stored HO2S voltage samples taken within each sample period and determines if the majority of the samples are out of the operating range.
The ECM monitors the HO2S voltage and detects if the voltage goes out of the bias range. If the ECM does not detect the voltage went out of the bias range, this DTC sets.

DTC P0140 or P0160
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heater reduces the time required for the oxygen sensor to reach operating temperature and maintains the operating temperature during extended idle periods. When the ignition is turned to the ON position, ignition voltage is supplied directly to the sensor heater. The engine control module (ECM) controls the heater operation by first modulating the control circuit to ground when the sensors are cold. This prevents the possibility of thermal shock to the sensor, from condensation build-up on the sensor, by controlling the sensor's rate of heating. After a predetermined amount of time, the ECM commands the heaters ON continuously. Once the sensor reaches operating temperature, the ECM may modulate the heater control circuit to ground to maintain a desired temperature.
The ECM controls the heater by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled up to voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.
The ECM measures the internal resistance of the sensing element to determine if there is an HO2S condition. If the internal resistance is too high, this DTC sets.

DTC P0201-P0206
The throttle body assembly contains 2 throttle position (TP) sensors. The TP sensors are mounted to the throttle body assembly and are not serviceable. The TP sensors provide a signal voltage that changes relative to throttle blade angle. The engine control module (ECM) supplies the TP sensors with a common 5-volt reference circuit, a common low reference circuit, and 2 independent signal circuits.
The TP sensors have opposite functionality. TP sensor 1 signal voltage increases from below 1 volt at idle to above 4 volts at wide open throttle (WOT). TP sensor 2 signal voltage decreases from above 4 volts at idle to below 1 volt at WOT.
The ECM compares the signal of the TP sensor 1 and TP sensor 2 through the entire range. If the ECM detects a predetermined difference between sensor 1 and sensor 2, or a predetermined difference from the predicted range, this DTC sets.

DTC P0223
The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector on the intake stroke for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The control module monitors the status of each driver. Each driver has a feedback voltage circuit which the engine control module (ECM) monitors. The injector control circuits are pulled-up to voltage within the ECM. The ECM can determine if a control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage. If the ECM detects the control circuit voltage is too low when the circuit is commanded OFF, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs
- DTC P0261 Injector 1 Control Circuit Low Voltage
- DTC P0264 Injector 2 Control Circuit Low Voltage
- DTC P0267 Injector 3 Control Circuit Low Voltage
- DTC P0270 Injector 4 Control Circuit Low Voltage
- DTC P0273 Injector 5 Control Circuit Low Voltage
- DTC P0276 Injector 6 Control Circuit Low Voltage
- The engine speed is more than 80 RPM.
- The ignition 1 voltage is between 10-18 volts.
- DTCs P0261, P0264, P0267, P0270, P0273, and P0276 run continuously once the above conditions are met.
- The ECM detects a grounded fuel injector circuit.
- The condition exists for more than 4 seconds.
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
- The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
- Use the J 35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a component harness connector.
- The lower connector of the ECM is connector C1 and the upper connector of the ECM is connector C2. Refer to «Engine Controls Component Views»(/cadillac/srx/i-2003-2009/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-36l-ly7-introduction-2-of-2) .
- Performing the fuel injector coil test may help isolate an intermittent condition. Refer to «Fuel Injector Coil Test»(/cadillac/srx/i-2003-2009/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-36l-ly7-troubleshooting) .
- If the condition is intermittent, move the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the circuit status for the component with a scan tool. The circuit status parameter changes from OK or Indeterminate to Fault if there is a condition with the circuit or a connection. The ODM information is in the output driver module (ODM) data list.
- If the condition is intermittent, refer to «Intermittent Conditions»(/cadillac/srx/i-2003-2009/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-36l-ly7-troubleshooting__intermittent-conditions) .
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 2: This step determines if the condition is current.
- 3: This step determines if the ignition 1 voltage supply circuit is shorted to ground. The fuel injectors for each bank of the engine are fused separately. If the circuit is shorted to ground, all the injector low voltage DTCs will set for one bank of the engine.
- 5: This step isolates if the short to ground condition is on the injector side of the multi-way harness connector or the ECM side of the multi-way harness connector. If a low voltage DTC sets, the short to ground condition is between the multi-way harness connector and the ECM.
- 7: This step isolates the condition. If the test lamp illuminates the injector control circuit is shorted to ground between the multi-way harness connector and the fuel injectors.

The control module enables the appropriate fuel injector on the intake stroke for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the fuel injectors. The control module controls each fuel injector by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The control module monitors the status of each driver. Each driver has a feedback voltage circuit which the engine control module (ECM) monitors. The injector control circuits are pulled-up to a voltage within the ECM. The ECM can determine if a control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage. If the ECM detects the control circuit voltage is too high when the circuit is commanded ON, this DTC sets.

Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses information from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the camshaft position (CMP) sensors in order to determine when an engine misfire is occurring. By monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the ECM is able to detect individual misfire events. A misfire rate that is high enough can cause 3-way catalytic converter damage. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash ON and OFF when the conditions for catalytic converter damage are present. DTCs P0301 through P0306 correspond to cylinders 1 through 6. If the ECM is able to determine that a specific cylinder is misfiring, the DTC for that cylinder will set. If the misfire rate is sufficient to cause emission levels to exceed a predetermined value, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

DTC P0301 - P0306 Cylinder Misfire Detected
Correct engine misfire detection is dependent on whether or not the vehicle is experiencing a rough road condition. A rough road condition causes unexpected crankshaft fluctuations. In order to detect a rough road condition, the electronic brake control module (EBCM) communicates a wheel speed signal over the serial data circuit to the engine control module (ECM). The wheel speed sensor information allows the ECM to distinguish if the crankshaft speed variations are caused by a rough road condition or are caused by a true misfire. If the EBCM reports a wheel speed sensor failure, or the ECM does not receive the rough road information, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC
DTC P0318 Rough Road Sensor Circuit
- The ignition is ON or the engine is operating.
- DTC P0318 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.
- The EBCM reports a wheel speed sensor failure to the ECM. OR
- The ECM does not receive communication of a rough road signal from the EBCM for more than 5 seconds.
- The control module stores the DTC information into memory when the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will not illuminate.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The control module stores this information in the Failure Records.
- The driver information center, if equipped, may display a message.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
- A current DTC Last Test Failed clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other non-emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the DTC with a scan tool.

DTC P0318
The knock sensor (KS) system monitors the knock sensors in order to determine if detonation is present. If the KS system determines that excessive knock is present, the engine control module (ECM) retards the spark timing based on the signal from the KS system. The knock sensor produces an AC signal when specific frequencies are detected. The ECM then retards the timing until knock is controlled.
The ECM tests the functionality of the internal knock sensor signal evaluation circuitry. The KS circuitry within the ECM is responsible for receiving, amplifying, filtering, and evaluating the AC voltage and frequency from the knock sensors. The ECM performs two tests that determine if the internal circuitry within the ECM is functioning correctly.
Test One
The ECM internally turns OFF the knock sensor signal circuits. The ECM then applies different test signals to the internal KS circuitry to verify that each test signal output response is within range. If the ECM detects that any of the test signals are not within range, this DTC sets.
Test Two
The ECM internally turns OFF the knock sensor signal circuits. The ECM then tests for any output response when no test signals are applied. If the ECM detects an output response, this DTC sets.
Test Three
The ECM internally turns OFF the knock sensor signal circuits. The ECM generates an internal test pulse and monitors the return signal. If the return test pulse is less than a calibrated threshold, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

DTC P0324
The knock sensor (KS) is a piezoelectric device that produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency depending on the level of engine mechanical vibration. The KS system monitors the knock sensor in order to determine if detonation is present. If the KS system determines that excessive knock is present, the engine control module (ECM) retards the spark timing based on the signal from the KS system. The KS produces an AC signal when specific frequencies are detected. The ECM then retards the timing until knock is controlled.
In order to differentiate between normal engine noise and spark knock, the ECM samples the KS signal. The ECM samples the KS signal for a certain length of time under different engine speeds and loads during knock events. This sampling is used to determine a range of acceptable normal engine noise. If the ECM does not detect sufficient normal engine noise from the KS, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs

- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
- The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

DTC P0328 or P0333
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on the rear of bank 1 of the engine block. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency depending on the velocity of the crankshaft. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 58X reluctor wheel that is attached to the crankshaft. Each tooth on the reluctor wheel are spaced 6 degrees apart with one span having a 12 degree space. The engine control module (ECM) uses the 12 degree space to determine top dead center for cylinders 1 and 4. The ECM determines when cylinder 1 is on the compression stroke by monitoring the CKP sensor and the camshaft position (CMP) sensors. The ECM can synchronize the ignition timing, fuel injector timing, and spark knock control based on the CKP sensor and the CMP sensor inputs. If the ECM does not detect a signal from the CKP sensor, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC
DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit

- The ECM uses the camshaft position sensors to determine engine speed and position when there is a CKP sensor condition.
- The engine will operate with a CKP sensor condition only if the ECM has stored the learned reference position of the camshafts in memory. With a crankshaft position sensor condition the engine will go into a limp home mode after a hard restart. The ECM then calculates engine speed from one of the camshaft position sensors. During a limp home mode the following additional DTCs may set and should be ignored: DTC P0324 Knock Sensor (KS) Module Performance DTC P1011 Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Park Position Bank 1

DTC P0335 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on the rear of bank 1 of the engine block. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency depending on the velocity of the crankshaft. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 58X reluctor wheel that is attached to the crankshaft. Each tooth on the reluctor wheel is spaced 6 degrees apart with one span having a 12-degree space. The engine control module (ECM) uses the 12-degree space to determine top dead center for cylinders 1 and 4. The ECM determines when cylinder 1 is on the compression stroke by monitoring the CKP sensor and the camshaft position (CMP) sensors. The ECM can synchronize the ignition timing, fuel injector timing, and spark knock control based on the CKP sensor and the CMP sensor inputs. If the ECM loses the cylinder 1 crankshaft reference position and must re-sync the engine position, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC

- The engine is cranking or operating.
- The ECM has detected more than 12 camshaft revolutions.
- DTC P0336 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.
- The ECM re-syncs the engine position 6 or more times during an ignition cycle. OR
- The ECM detects 14 or more interruptions in the engine speed signal during an ignition cycle.
- Either condition exists for more than 4 seconds.
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records.

- Use the J 35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a component harness connector. Using this kit prevents damage to the harness or component terminals.
- The lower connector of the ECM is connector C1 and the upper connector of the ECM is connector C2. Refer to «Engine Controls Component Views»(/cadillac/srx/i-2003-2009/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-36l-ly7-introduction-2-of-2) .
- The ECM uses the camshaft position sensors to determine engine speed and position when there is a CKP sensor condition.
- The engine will operate with a CKP sensor condition only if the ECM has stored the learned reference position of the camshafts in memory. With a crankshaft position sensor condition other than a short to voltage in the signal circuit, the engine will go into a limp home mode after a hard restart. The ECM then calculates engine speed from one of the camshaft position sensors. During a limp home mode the following additional DTCs may set and should be ignored: DTC P0324 Knock Sensor (KS) Module Performance DTC P1011 Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Park Position Bank 1
- The following conditions may cause this DTC to set: An intermittent condition in the CMP sensor circuits can cause a CKP DTC to set. Inspect the CMP sensor, harness connections, and related wiring, if you suspect this condition. Intermittent short to ground in the signal circuit Excessive air gap between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel CKP sensor damage or improper installation Crankshaft reluctor wheel damage or improper installation Foreign material passing between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel
- Excess crankshaft end play causes the reluctor wheel to move out of alignment with the CKP sensor. This could result in any one of the following conditions: A hard start A start and stall Erratic performance
- For an intermittent condition, refer to «Intermittent Conditions»(/cadillac/srx/i-2003-2009/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-36l-ly7-troubleshooting__intermittent-conditions) .

P0336 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit Performance
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on the rear of bank 1 of the engine block. The CKP sensor produces an AC voltage of different amplitude and frequency depending on the velocity of the crankshaft. The CKP sensor works in conjunction with a 58X reluctor wheel that is attached to the crankshaft. Each tooth on the reluctor wheel are spaced 6 degrees apart with one span having a 12 degree space. The engine control module (ECM) uses the 12 degree space to determine top dead center for cylinders 1 and 4. The ECM determines when cylinder 1 is on the compression stroke by monitoring the CKP sensor and the camshaft position (CMP) sensors. The ECM can synchronize the ignition timing, fuel injector timing, and spark knock control based on the CKP sensor and the CMP sensor inputs. If the ECM detects more or less than 58 reference pulses within a certain number of crankshaft revolutions when the engine is cranking or operating, this DTC sets.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC
DTC P0338 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit High Duty Cycle
- The engine is cranking or operating.
- The ECM has detected more than 12 camshaft revolutions.
- DTC P0338 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.
- The ECM detects a difference of more than 8 teeth between reference gap position pulses for 4 consecutive crankshaft revolutions in which the same number of pulses are detected each crankshaft revolution.
- The condition exists for more than 4 seconds.
- The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
- The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
- The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 4 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
- A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
- A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
- Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
- Use the J 35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a component harness connector. Using this kit prevents damage to the harness or component terminals.
- The lower connector of the ECM is connector C1 and the upper connector of the ECM is connector C2. Refer to «Engine Controls Component Views»(/cadillac/srx/i-2003-2009/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-36l-ly7-introduction-2-of-2) .
- The ECM uses the camshaft position sensors to determine engine speed and position when there is a CKP sensor condition.
- The engine will operate with a CKP sensor condition only if the ECM has stored the learned reference position of the camshafts in memory. With a crankshaft position sensor condition the engine will go into a limp home mode after a hard restart. The ECM then calculates engine speed from one of the camshaft position sensors. During a limp home mode the following additional DTCs may set and should be ignored: DTC P0324 Knock Sensor (KS) Module Performance DTC P1011 Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Park Position Bank 1
- The following conditions may cause this DTC to set: An intermittent condition in the camshaft position (CMP) sensor circuits can cause a CKP DTC to set. Inspect the CMP sensor, harness connections, and related wiring, if you suspect this condition. Intermittent short to ground in the signal circuit Excessive air gap between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel CKP sensor damage or improper installation Crankshaft reluctor wheel damage or improper installation Foreign material passing between the CKP sensor and the reluctor wheel
- Excess crankshaft end play causes the reluctor wheel to move out of alignment with the CKP sensor. This could result in any one of the following conditions: A hard start A start and stall Erratic performance
- For an intermittent, refer to «Intermittent Conditions»(/cadillac/srx/i-2003-2009/remont/testing-diagnostics/#engine-control-system-36l-ly7-troubleshooting__intermittent-conditions) .
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 5: This step is testing for a poor connection at the components and for an intermittent condition with the wiring. Clearing the DTCs allows the ECM to synchronize the cam and crank reference pulses.
- 6: This step is testing for electromagnetic interference (EMI). If the CKP sensor circuits are routed close to high load circuits or components, this DTC may set.
- 7: This step is testing if the CKP sensor is installed correctly. A CKP sensor that is not fully seated, may cause this DTC to set.
- 8: This step is testing for an ECM condition. The ECM uses a pull-up voltage of 2.5 volts on each CKP sensor circuit to reduce noise interference from EMI. If the voltage is not present, replace the ECM.
- 9: This step is testing for an ECM condition. The ECM uses a pull-up voltage of 2.5 volts on each CKP sensor circuit to reduce noise interference from EMI. If the voltage is not present, replace the ECM.
- 10: This step tests for a condition in the CKP sensor ground shield. Normal EMI could effect the output signal of the CKP sensor if an open or high resistance exists.
- 12: Missing, damaged, or broken teeth on the reluctor wheel can set this DTC. If the crankshaft was recently replaced or the vehicle/engine is new and this DTC is set, inspect all teeth on the reluctor wheel.

P0338 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit High Duty Cycle
Each camshaft is equipped with a camshaft position (CMP) sensor that the engine control module (ECM) monitors. The CMP sensor is a hall effect switch that works in conjunction with a 4X reluctor wheel. The reluctor wheels are mounted to the camshaft position actuators that are mounted to the end of the camshafts. The ECM uses the CMP sensor signals in order to determine the position of the camshafts.
The ECM supplies 5 volts to the CMP sensors on the 5-volt reference circuits, and supplies a ground on the low reference circuits. The CMP sensors provide a signal to the ECM on the signal circuits. If the ECM detects extra or missing CMP sensor signal transitions within a certain number of crankshaft revolutions, this DTC sets.
