2005 Nissan Altima Crankshaft Sensor Learn Procedure

CKP System Variation Learn Procedure


The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all conditions are met to continue with the procedure. The scan tool only displays the condition that inhibits the procedure while monitoring the following components:
CKP sensors activity-If there is a CKP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that was set

Camshaft position (CMP) sensor activity-If there is a CMP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that was set

Engine coolant temperature (ECT)-If the ECT is not warm enough, idle the engine until the ECT reaches normal operating temperature

NOTE: For additional diagnostic information, refer to DTC P1336.

Install a scan tool

Monitor the powertrain control module for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). If other DTCs are set, except DTC P1336, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code List for the applicable DTC that was set
