P0336 on Land Rover
Crankshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Range/Performance
P0336 on Land Rover vehicles indicates crankshaft position sensor 'a' circuit range/performance. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Land Rover model — most commonly on Range Rover Sport. P0336 means the engine control module detected a crankshaft position sensor signal that is present but outside the expected range or pattern — for example, intermittent dropouts, an erratic waveform, or extra/missing pulses. The crankshaft position sensor tells the computer the exact position and speed of the crankshaft, which is essential for timing fuel injection and ignition. When this signal is unreliable, the engine may stumble, stall, hesitate, or be hard to start. Because it underpins basic engine operation, this code should be addressed promptly. Typical repair costs on Land Rover range from $200 to $500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P0336
- •Failing crankshaft position sensor
- •Damaged or contaminated reluctor/tone ring (debris, missing teeth)
- •Wiring damage, chafing, or corroded connectors
- •Incorrect air gap or loose sensor mounting
- •Electrical interference from nearby high-voltage components
- •Metal shavings on the sensor tip
- •ECM/PCM fault (less common)

- Crankshaft Position Sensor Failure Causing Stalling2005-2013
The crankshaft position sensor on the L320 Range Rover Sport is prone to intermittent failure, especially in hot weather. The sensor loses signal as it heats up, causing random stalling at idle or while driving. The failure is often intermittent, making diagnosis difficult as the vehicle may restart after cooling down.

What does P0336 mean on Land Rover?▼
P0336 stands for "Crankshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Range/Performance." P0336 means the engine control module detected a crankshaft position sensor signal that is present but outside the expected range or pattern — for example, intermittent dropouts, an erratic waveform, or extra/missing pulses. The crankshaft position sensor tells the computer the exact position and speed of the crankshaft, which is essential for timing fuel injection and ignition. When this signal is unreliable, the engine may stumble, stall, hesitate, or be hard to start. Because it underpins basic engine operation, this code should be addressed promptly. On Land Rover specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
