Possible Causes
NOTE: The listed causes may not be a complete list of all potential issues, and there may be other causes.
- Faulty Top Dead Center Sensor 1
- Top Dead Center Sensor 1 Harness is Open or Shorted
- Poor Electrical Connection in Top Dead Center Sensor Circuit 1
Description
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) determines the timing of fuel injection and ignition for each cylinder and also detects engine speed. The Top Dead Center (TDC) Sensor determines ignition timing during startup (cranking) and when the crankshaft angle is abnormal. The Cylinder Position (CYP) Sensor detects the position of cylinder number 1 for sequential fuel injection into each cylinder. The CKP/TDC/CYP sensors are integrated into the distributor. If no pulse signal from the Top Dead Center (TDC) Sensor is detected, a malfunction is identified, and Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1382 is recorded.
How to Repair
Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.
