P1335 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Manufacturer-specific — meaning varies by make (GM: Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit; Ford: EGR Position Sensor; Audi/VW: Engine Torque Monitoring/Control Adaption At Limit).” Manufacturer-specific code with genuinely different meanings across brands — do not act on a generic definition without checking your make. On GM applications it refers to a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor circuit fault, which can cause hard starting, stalling, or a no-start. On Ford applications it refers to EGR valve position sensor performance. On Audi and Volkswagen it is an engine torque monitoring / torque control adaption fault, commonly caused by unmetered air entering the engine rather than by a single failed part. Other makes assign it to other systems. Confirm the definition against service information for your specific make and model year before replacing any part. This code is most commonly reported on 1991-1999 Nissan Sentra (Base, E, XE, GXE, SE, SE-R, GLE), with repair costs ranging from $150 to $500.

Common Causes

1GM: failed crankshaft position sensor
2GM: damaged, chafed, or oil-contaminated CKP sensor wiring or connector
3GM: damaged reluctor/tone ring or incorrect sensor air gap
4Ford: EGR valve or EGR position sensor fault, or its circuit
5Audi/VW: unmetered air (vacuum/intake leak) or another underlying torque-limiting fault, not a sensor failure
6Engine control module fault (rare — verify wiring first)

Typical Repair Cost

$150 - $500

Based on 1 documented vehicle-specific issues. Actual cost depends on root cause and vehicle.

Diagnostic Tools
