After a crank sensor replacement a
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn has to be done !
Important: The crankshaft position (CKP) system variation learn procedure is required when the following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 is set:
?€¢
Engine replacement

?€¢
Engine control module (ECM) replacement

?€¢
Crankshaft damper replacement

?€¢
Crankshaft replacement

?€¢
CKP sensor replacement

?€¢
Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to CKP sensor relationship

Important: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to continue with the CKP system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
?€¢
CKP sensor activity--If there is a CKP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set.

?€¢
Camshaft position (CMP) signal activity--If there is a CMP signal condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set.

?€¢
Engine coolant temperature (ECT)--If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.

P0315 - Crankshaft Position System Variation Not Learned

Possible causes- Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor harness is open or shorted
- Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Damaged crankshaft pulse wheel teeth. Tech notes Visual inspection of the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and crankshaft pulse wheel teeth for damage. If crankshaft teethes are OK, replaced the Crankshaft Position sensor

The crankshaft sensor is located on the driver side of the vehicle, above the differential housing. The bottom of the sensor sits above the drive plate.
Drivers side just above oil pan just behind differential

1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery cable.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Unlock and disconnect electrical connector from crankshaft position sensor.
4. Remove sensor mounting screw. Remove sensor

The crank sensor is located on the engine near the flywheel axis of the crankshaft.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Removal & Installation To Remove:
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 2.4L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.0L engine
Location of the crankshaft position sensor on the 3.3L and 3.8L engines
NOTE: On the 2.4L engine, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted to the engine block behind the alternator, just above the oil filter. On the 3.0L, 3.3L and 3.8L engines, the crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the transaxle housing, above the vehicle speed sensor.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
3. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
4. Unfasten the sensor mounting screw, then remove the sensor from the vehicle by pulling it straight out.

To Install:
NOTE: If the sensor removed is going to be re-installed, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A new spacer must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, be sure that a paper spacer is attached to the sensor face.

1. Install sensor and push the sensor in until contact is made. While holding the sensor in this position, install and tighten the mounting bolt to 105 in. lbs. (12 Nm).
2. Connect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.

Hi!!

here are illustrations of the CKP (crankshaft position) sensor in 2.3L and 3.0L.

Note: In the bottom of the 2.3L drawing says Trottle Position (TP) Sensor, this is wrong, It should say CKP Sensor.


2.3L Engine


The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located to the left of the crankshaft pulley.

Fig. Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor location-2.3L engine


3.0L Engine


The Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor is located just behind the crankshaft pulley on engine block.

Fig. Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor location-3.0L engine

The cost of the sensor is $23 bucks at AutoZone.

2.2L/2.4L Crankshaft position sensor is mounted on bottom of ignition control module, or near the ignition control module. The crankshaft position sensor protrudes through the side of engine block to within .05" (1.3 mm) of an internally-mounted crankshaft reluctor ring. Sensor position is not adjustable.

on 2.2 models remove starter. disconnect 7x crankshaft position sensor wiring harness.remove sensor mounting bolt, with draw sensor, replace o ring and lightly lubricate it with oil.... on 6 cylinder models,..remove the drive belt, jack up car, remove crankshaft pulley. remove sensor bolt and pull out.( noting the wiring harness for installation).
