Circuit Description

The crankshaft engine speed sensor and the camshaft engine position sensor provide engine speed and position information to the Electronic Control Module (ECM) through the engine harness.

Component Location

The crankshaft speed sensor is located on the intake side of the engine near the number 6 cylinder at the crankshaft centerline. For ISB and QSB5.9 the crankshaft engine speed sensor is located on the intake side of the engine behind the vibration damper near the tone wheel. The camshaft speed sensor is located below the fuel pump in the back of the gear housing.

Shop Talk

Possible causes of this fault code include:

  • External fuel sources drawn into the intake air passage
  • Reverse powering (motoring) of the engine
  • Tampering of the engine speed/position sensors.

Inspect the intake manifold for sources of flammable vapors. Check the turbocharger seals to verify that there are no oil leaks. Inspect the engine speed/position sensors for damage or tampering.
