Thanks for the help in advance. My engine light is on and my truck is throwing a P0336, wondering what is going on, it has been colder than a well diggers **** here, my truck is starting a lot harder in this years cold than last year, meaning same temps and alot harder start this year. Jamie

 

P0336
Crankshaft Position Sensor Signal

was it after an extended crank session? I recall seeing that one after cranking for a while, it went away after about 15 minutes of driving though.

 

yep extended cranking period, but hasnt gone away yet?

 

hmmmm, have you started it a couple times since this first code popped up?

like I said, mine cleared after about 15 minutes and after shutting the truck off and on again once.

 

Yep started it a couple of times. Still throwing the code.

 

It usually takes 4 start and run to full engine temp or close before the CEL/MIL will go out if the reason for initial code is no longer present. Just starting and turning off does not qualify as start and run to temp.

 

i guess mine was just luck, but it was up to full temp before I got back to the house and shut her down. about 5 minutes later I started it back up and the code was gone.

so yes, definately run it for a bit before shutting it down.

 

If you continue to have this problem you might need to just go on and replace the crank sensor, I have people come into the dealership all the time with this problem and after I believe the cost is around $160-200 sensor the problem is gone. Unfortunately this seems to be somewhat of a common problem. Hope you can get it figured. Good luck
