P0337 Fault Code
P0337 OBD-II Trouble Code Short Description
Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Low Input
What does trouble code P0337 mean?
The P0337 fault code indicates that there is a low voltage signal from the Crankshaft Position Sensor A. This sensor is crucial for determining the position and speed of the crankshaft, which directly affects ignition timing and fuel injection. When the sensor sends a weak signal, the engine control module (ECM) may interpret this as a fault in the sensor or its circuit.
