How do I fix code P0320?
How To Correct P0320 Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit Malfunction
- Diagnose and repair any existing low battery voltage settings.
- Replace the crankshaft position sensor.
- Replace whichever crankshaft position sensor wiring or connector that is broken, shorted, or corroded.
- Replace the camshaft position sensor.
What causes P0320?
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor keeps track of the crankshaft’s position and how fast the shaft spins. When something interrupts, disrupts, or distorts the signal from this sensor, the powertrain control module (PCM) may log the code P0320.
What does a ignition failure sensor do?
The IFS is responsible for keeping tabs on the voltage drop on the coils’ positive side so that your Engine Control Unit (ECU) can better monitor coil operation.
What is engine speed sensor?
Your vehicle’s engine speed sensor, or vehicle speed sensor as it is also known, sends information to your car’s computer about how fast the car’s engine is spinning at any particular moment. The sensor does this by recording how fast the crankshaft of your vehicle is spinning.
What are the symptoms of a bad ignition sensor?
Signs of a Bad Ignition Module
- Acceleration Issues. The vehicle may shake, vibrate or jerk when the gas pedal is pressed. There may be hesitation or lack of power during increases in speed.
- Temperature Problems. A faulty ignition module can cause a vehicle to overheat.
- No Power. The engine may turn over without starting.
What happens when the crankshaft sensor goes bad?
A failing crankshaft position sensor cannot provide the right information about piston positioning in the engine, causing a cylinder to misfire. This could also occur from faulty spark plug timing, but if the spark plug checks out, then the crankshaft sensor is likely the source.
