P0335 on Chevrolet
Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction
P0335 on Chevrolet vehicles indicates crankshaft position sensor a circuit malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Chevrolet model — most commonly on Lumina. This code means the engine computer has lost or detected a faulty signal from the crankshaft position sensor (sensor A), which tells the computer exactly how fast and in what position the crankshaft is rotating. That signal is essential for timing the spark and fuel injection, so a problem here can cause hard starting, stalling, or a no-start condition. The computer sets this code when the crank sensor signal is missing, erratic, or out of its expected pattern. Causes range from a failed sensor or damaged wiring to a problem with the reluctor (tone) ring the sensor reads. Typical repair costs on Chevrolet range from $80 to $250, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0335
- •Failed crankshaft position sensor
- •Damaged, corroded, or loose sensor wiring/connector
- •Metal debris or oil contamination on the sensor tip
- •Damaged or misaligned reluctor (tone) ring
- •Excessive air gap between sensor and tone ring
- •Wiring shorted or open in the sensor circuit
- •Faulty PCM/ECM (rare)

- Crankshaft Position Sensor Failure Causing Stalling1995-2001
The crankshaft position sensor fails due to heat exposure, causing intermittent stalling and no-start conditions. The sensor is located behind the harmonic balancer and is exposed to engine heat and oil contamination. Failure is often intermittent, making diagnosis difficult until complete failure occurs.
