Crankshaft Position (CKP) System Variation Learn

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) system variation learn procedure must be performed when any of the following service procedures have been completed: Engine replacement; control module replacement; crankshaft balancer replacement; crankshaft replacement; CKP sensor replacement.
1. Install a scan tool and monitor ECM for DTCs.
2. If DTCs other than P0315 are set, diagnose those codes first.
3. With a scan tool, select CKP System Variation Learn Procedure.
4. Block drive wheels and set parking brake, do not apply brake pedal.
5. Cycle ignition from Off to On.
6. Apply and hold brake pedal, then start and idle engine.
7. Ensure air conditioning is Off.
8. Vehicle must remain in Park or Neutral.
9. While learn procedure is in progress, release throttle immediately when engine starts to decelerate.
10. Engine control is returned to operator and engine responds to throttle position after learn procedure is complete.
11. Accelerate to Wide Open Throttle (WOT) and release when fuel cut-off occurs.
12. If scan tool indicates that DTC P0315 ran and passed, CKP variation learn procedure is complete.
13. If scan tool indicates DTC P0315 failed or did not run, refer to DTC P0315 .
14. If any other DTCs set, diagnose DTC.
15. Turn OFF ignition for 30 seconds after learn procedure is completed successfully in order to store CKP system variation values in ECM memory.
