Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0337 CKP Sensor Circuit Low Frequency
060R200066
Circuit Description
The 58X reference signal is produced by the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor. During one crankshaft revolution,
58 crankshaft reference pulses will be produced. The
powertrain control module (PCM) uses the 58X reference
signal to calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position.
The PCM constantly monitors the number of pulses on
the 58X reference circuit. If the PCM does not receive
pulses on the 58X reference circuit, DTC P0337 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Engine cranking.
Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal is not present
between two cam pulses.
CKP reference pulse is not detected within 8 CMP
pulses.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
A history DTC P0337 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DTC P0337 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0401 EGR Flow Insufficient
060R200050
Circuit Description
The powertrain control module (PCM) tests the exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) system during deceleration by
momentarily commanding the EGR valve to open while
monitoring the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
signal. When the EGR valve is opened, the PCM
monitors the change in MAP input signal. The PCM
compares the MAP change to a RPM vs. BARO table.
When the PCM interprets the change in MAP to be out of
limits, the PCM will set DTC P0401. The number of test
samples required to accomplish this may vary according
to the severity of the detected flow error.
Normally, the PCM will only allow one EGR flow test
sample to be taken during an ignition cycle. To aid in
verifying a repair, the PCM allows twelve test samples
during the first ignition cycle following a Tech 2 ªClear Infoº
or a battery disconnect. Between nine and twelve
samples should be sufficient for the PCM to determine
adequate EGR flow and pass the EGR test.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
No TP sensor, vehicle speed sensor (VSS), MAP
sensor, IAT sensor, IAC, EGR Pintle Position sensor,
ECT sensor, misfire, or automatic transmission DTCs
set.
Engine coolant temperature is greater than 60C
(140F).
Ignition voltage between 11.5 and 16 volts.
Vehicle speed is greater than 24 km/h (15 mph).A/C clutch status is unchanged.
TCC status is unchanged.
Start Test
TP angle is less than 0.8%.
EGR duty cycle is less than 1%.
MAP is steady, changing less than 2 kPa.
Engine speed is between 1100 RPM and 2000 RPM
(M/T).
MAP between 10 kPa and 40 kPa.
Engine speed is between 900 RPM and 1500 rpm
(A/T).
The test will be aborted if the vehicle speed changes
by more than 16 km/h (10 mph), engine speed
changes by more than 100 RPM or the EGR is
opened less than 95% of commanded position.
The PCM will only run the EGR test during a closed
throttle condition.
The PCM will only run the EGR test at vehicle speeds
above 24 km/h (15 mph).
Several deceleration cycles will be necessary to run a
sufficient number of EGR flow tests.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will ON the MIL after second trip with
detected fault.
