P0335 on Honda
Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction
P0335 on Honda vehicles indicates crankshaft position sensor a circuit malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Honda model — most commonly on Passport. 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 Honda range from $40 to $300, 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)

Honda Passport(1 issue)
- Idle Stop (Auto Start-Stop) Stalling and Failure to Restart2019-2023
Honda Passport owners report the Idle Stop (automatic engine start-stop) feature causing dangerous stalling issues. When the engine auto-stops at red lights or in traffic, it fails to restart when the brake is released, leaving the vehicle stranded in traffic. The "Collision Mitigation System" warning light often appears during these incidents. The Idle Stop system is overly aggressive and doesn't account for battery health, A/C load, or hot weather conditions. Unlike some competitors, Honda doesn't have a shift interlock, so the vehicle can roll if stalled on a hill. Many owners permanently disable Idle Stop to avoid this issue.
