 Circuit Description
 The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learning feature is used to
calculate reference period errors caused by slight tolerance variations in
      the crankshaft, the crankshaft balancer interrupter rings, and the crankshaft
      position sensor hall effect switches. The calculated  error allows the
   PCM    to accurately compensate for reference period  variations. The Crankshaft
Position System Variation Learning feature enhances the ability of the   
PCM    to detect misfire events over a wider range of engine speed and load. 
 The crankshaft position system variation values are stored in the PCM
non volatile memory after the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure
      has been performed. DTC P1336 set indicates that   the crankshaft
     position  system variation values have not been stored in the PCM and
 the     Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure must be performed.
    The  learn procedure  is required after the following service procedures
   have  been  performed, regardless  of whether or not DTC P1336 is
  set: 
|     •  |  A crankshaft replacement  | 
 
|     •  |  A crankshaft balancer replacement  | 
 
|     •  |  A crankshaft position sensor replacement | 
 
|     •  |  Any engine repairs which disturbs crankshaft/harmonic balancer
to crankshaft position sensor relationship  | 
 
Conditions for Running the DTC
|     •  |  CMP or CKP sensor DTCs are not set.  | 
 
|     •  |  ECT is more than 65°C (149°F).  | 
 
Conditions for Setting the DTC
 Crankshaft position system variation values are not stored in the PCM
memory. 
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
|     •  | The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during
the first trip in which the diagnostic test has been run and failed. | 
 
|     •  | The PCM will store conditions which were present when the DTC
set as Freeze Frame and Failure Records data. | 
 
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
|     •  | The PCM will turn  OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) during
the third consecutive trip in which the diagnostic has run and
passed. | 
 
|     •  | The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles have occurred without a malfunction. | 
 
|     •  | The DTC can be cleared by using a scan tool. | 
 
Diagnostic Aids
 The crankshaft position system variation compensating values are stored
in the PCM non volatile memory after a learn procedure has been performed.
                  If the actual crankshaft position variation is not within
  the    crankshaft          position     system variation compensating values
  stored    in the PCM,     DTC P0300  may set. Refer to Diagnostic
  Aids  for   DTC P0300. 
 The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure must be performed
when replacing the PCM to clear DTC P1336. The Crankshaft Position
System Variation Learn procedure is also required when the    following  
    service      procedures     have been performed, regardless    of whether
   or    not DTC P1336      is set: 
|     •  |  A crankshaft replacement | 
 
|     •  |  A crankshaft balancer replacement. | 
 
|     •  |  A crankshaft position sensor replacement | 
 
|     •  |  Any engine repairs which disturbs crankshaft/harmonic balancer
to crankshaft position sensor relationship  | 
 
 If the crankshaft position system variation learn procedure cannot
be performed successfully, inspect for the following conditions and correct
                  as necessary: 
|     •  |  ECT below 70°C (158°F)--Allow the engine to warm
to above 70°C (158°F).  | 
 
|          |  The scan tool crankshaft position system variation learn function will
be disabled if any Powertrain DTCs other than DTC P1336 are stored  | 
 
 Many situations may lead to an intermittent condition. Perform each  inspection
or test as directed.
Important: :  Remove any debris from the connector surfaces
before servicing a component.  Inspect the connector gaskets when diagnosing or replacing
a component. Ensure   that the gaskets are installed correctly. The gaskets prevent
contaminate   intrusion.
|     •  | Loose terminal connection | 
 
|     •  | Damaged harness--Inspect the wiring harness for damage. If  the harness
inspection does not reveal a problem, observe the display on the  scan tool while
moving connectors  and wiring harnesses related to the sensor.  A change in the scan
tool display  may indicate the location of the fault.  Refer to  
Wiring Repairs 
   in Wiring  Systems for diagnosis and repair. | 
 
|     •  |  Inspect the powertrain control module (PCM) and the  engine grounds for
clean and secure connections. Refer to  
Wiring Repairs 
  in Wiring Systems for diagnosis  and repair. | 
 
 If the condition is determined to be intermittent, reviewing the Snapshot 
or Freeze Frame/Failure Records may be useful in determining when the  DTC  or condition
was identified.
