Description:

This diagnostic trouble code indicates that the ECU detects an improper pattern or noise in the crankshaft speed signal with the ignition ON (engine OFF). This can disrupt accurate engine speed readings and affect engine control.

Reaction:

The vehicle may experience issues with engine starting, performance, or idle control due to invalid crankshaft speed signal data.

Recommendations:

• Inspect Crankshaft Position Sensor and Wiring: Check for damaged, frayed, or loose wiring and connectors associated with the crankshaft position sensor. Repair or replace as necessary.
• Test Crankshaft Position Sensor: Use diagnostic tools to test the functionality of the crankshaft position sensor. Ensure that it is providing accurate and consistent signals.
• Check for Electrical Interference: Inspect the area around the crankshaft position sensor for potential sources of electrical interference or noise. Shield or relocate components as needed to prevent signal disruption.
• Verify Sensor Alignment: Ensure that the crankshaft position sensor is properly aligned and securely mounted to detect accurate speed signals.
• Reset ECU and Monitor System: After resolving the issue, reset the ECU to clear the fault code and monitor the system to ensure normal operation.

Note:

Accurate crankshaft speed signal data is crucial for engine control and performance. Regular inspections and timely maintenance can help prevent signal-related issues.
