Honda Element. Manual - part 18

Conditions for illuminating the MIL 

When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the 
ECM/PCM memory. 

Conditions for clearing the MIL 

The MIL will be cleared if the malfunction does not recur during three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic 
runs. 

The MIL, the DTC, and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by 
disconnecting the battery. 

DTC P0339 (4): ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS 

DTC P0339: CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT 
INTERRUPTION 

Fig. 47: Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit Diagram 

General Description 

The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor consists of a rotor and a semiconductor that detects rotor position. When 
the engine starts, the rotor turns and the magnetic flux in the semiconductor device changes. The changes of 
magnetic flux are converted into pulsing signals to the engine control module (ECM)/powertrain control module 
(PCM). The CKP sensor detects injection/ignition timing for each cylinder and engine speed. 

If an abnormal amount of pulsing signals from the CKP sensor are detected, a malfunction is detected and a 
DTC is stored.

Fig. 48: Identifying Camshaft And Crankshaft Position Sensor 

General Description 

Camshaft position (CMP) sensor A detects the intake camshaft timing and sends pulsing signals to the engine 
control module (ECM)/powertrain control module (PCM). The ECM/PCM determines the advance or the retard 
of the camshaft timing according to the signals from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and CMP sensor A. If 
the pulse deviates from a set range over a specified time period while the variable valve timing control (VTC) is 
not activated, or the timing of the camshaft deviates from a set range over a specified time period while the 
engine is running with the VTC activated, a malfunction is detected and a DTC is stored.

Malfunction Threshold 

VTC OFF 



The gap between the position of the CMP sensor A pulse and the median of the CMP sensor A assembly 
is 10 ° or more for at least 5 seconds.  

Engine running, VTC active 



The timing of the camshaft is out of the specified range (other than when BTDC is between 10 - 100 °) 
for at least 5 seconds.  

Driving Pattern 

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (in Park or neutral) until the radiator 

fan comes on.  

2. Drive the vehicle at a steady speed between 19 - 38 mph (30 - 60 km/h) for at least 10 minutes. 



Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.
