P1336 Fault Code

Acura – CRANKSHAFT SPEED FLUCTUATION SENSOR INTERMITTENT INTERRUPTION

For Acura and Honda, P1336 is logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an issue with the crankshaft speed (CKP) sensor.

This happens when the signal from the CKS sensor to the PCM is outside of the allowable range or behaves erratically. The CKS is also often referred to as the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor as the speed can be determined by continuously monitoring the position of the shaft.

The CKP sensor is a vital component in ensuring the engine is operating safely, with all shafts in time. It also plays a key role in starting the engine up.

It feeds information to the PCM regarding the speed and position of the crankshaft. This information is used to control the various other shafts to keep them in time, which prevents further issues. It is also used when cranking the vehicle.

Audi – ENGINE TORQUE MONITORING

For both Audi and Volkswagen, P1336 is logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected that the engine torque has exceeded the control limit.

This can also occur if the signal from the torque sensor to the PCM is erratic or intermittent.

Torque monitoring is used as an extra level of precaution in certain engines. By monitoring the torque of the engine, the PCM can quickly put the vehicle into limp mode to prevent serious damage from occurring from excessive torque.

Among a number of other noticeable issues, this code will usually put the vehicle into limp mode. This can mean many aspects of driving are limited until the problem is resolved.

While somewhat rare, this is a serious fault code as it can very easily damage a number of expensive components like a turbocharger. Be sure to have this code fixed as soon as it is detected.

This fault code typically affects vehicles with turbochargers, meaning only some Audi models can be susceptible to it.

Additionally, not all vehicles have a torque monitor, making it a fairly unique fault code.

Infiniti – CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (CKPS) (COG)

For Infiniti and Nissan, P1336 is logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an issue with the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.

This happens when the PCM has detected an issue with the circuit for the sensor itself.

The CKP sensor is a vital component in ensuring the engine is operating safely, with all shafts in time. It also plays a key role in starting the engine up.

It feeds information to the PCM regarding the speed and position of the crankshaft. This information is used to control the various other shafts to keep them in time, which prevents further issues. It is also used when cranking the vehicle.
