Had a crank no start issue. Intermittent. Finally got it to a shop and got 3 codes:
U0423 - invalid data received from instrument panel cluster control module
P0336 - crankshaft position sensor a circuit range/performance
P0341 - camshaft position sensor a circuit range/performance bank one or single centre
I removed/inspected the camshaft sensor, everything looked good and clean so I put it back and she started. Next day stalled out in traffic and continued to stall so I picked up a crankshaft position sensor and installed it. What a pain. It’s done though.
My questions are:
1. After installing the new sensor the engine light was still on (as I assume it should be until codes are cleared?) next start the engine light was gone. During my no start and stall out issues, dash lights were blinking on and off at random intervals. Sometimes no dash lights for a few seconds...wondering if this is because I was slowly killing the battery as I cranked it, or if it is an indicator that my 3 codes may be related to a ground or other electrical issue ?
2. I had to sand down the new sensor, she wasn’t going in and I’m not surprised considering how hard it was to get the other one (Bosch) out of there. I may have overdone it, it went in pretty nice, a little too nice. Is this ok?
3. If the camshaft sensor appears to be fairly new and in good condition, gasket is good, is there still a chance it is pooched?
Seems odd that all of these codes popped up all of a sudden. Wouldn’t know where to start checking electrical things. I am able to follow instructions but have next to no experience with electrical things. I plan to get the battery tested to make surethats not the issue. Will see if she continues to start and go.
Thanks!
