P1336 Audi Code – Engine Torque Adaptation at Limit

Possible Causes

NOTE: The listed causes may not be a complete list of all potential problems and there may be other causes.

  • Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor

Description

Engine Torque Adaptation at Limit is the generic description for Audi code P1336, but the manufacturer may have a different description for your vehicle model and year. Currently, we have no other information about the Audi OBDII P1336 code.

How to Repair

Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the wiring harness and related connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

Possible Symptoms

  • Check Engine Light on (or soon-to-be-on Engine Service Warning Light)

P1336 Cadillac Code – Crankshaft Position System Variation Not Learned

Possible Causes

NOTE: The listed causes may not be a complete list of all potential problems and there may be other causes.

  • Faulty crankshaft position sensor
  • Crankshaft position sensor harness is open or shorted
  • Poor electrical connection in crankshaft position sensor circuit
  • The reluctor ring may be damaged

Description

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) sends pulses to the powertrain control module (PCM) when the teeth of the reluctor ring rotate past the CKP sensor. The PCM uses CKP pulses to synchronize ignition and fuel injector operation, and to time the interval between each CKP pulse. The PCM determines when excessive crankshaft speed variation occurs by comparing each new time interval with the previous interval. A misfire causes an unexpected change in crankshaft speed. Some acceleration/deceleration is expected between each firing event, but if the crankshaft speed changes more than expected, the PCM interprets this as a misfire. The interval between CKP sensor pulses is extremely small.

Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the wiring harness and related connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

Possible Symptoms

  • Engine light on (or service engine soon warning light)

P1336 Code Ford – Crankshaft Position Sensor or Camshaft Position Sensor Input Signal Error

🔧 Crankshaft and Camshaft Position Sensor Issues

📌 Possible Causes

NOTE: This list is not exhaustive. Other causes may also be responsible for the problem.

🔴 Faulty crankshaft position sensor (CKP)
🔴 Faulty camshaft position sensor (CMP)
🔴 Crankshaft position sensor wiring open or short circuit
🔴 Poor electrical connection in crankshaft position sensor circuit
🔴 Camshaft position sensor wiring open or short circuit
🔴 Poor electrical connection in camshaft position sensor circuit

❓ What Does This Mean?

The camshaft position sensor (CMP) detects the camshaft position and identifies when piston number 1 is on its compression stroke. This signal is then sent to the powertrain control module (PCM) to synchronize:
✅ Sequential fuel injector firing
✅ Correct coil firing in coil-on-plug (COP) ignition systems

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP), on the other hand, is a magnetic sensor mounted on the engine block near an impulse wheel on the crankshaft. It is the primary sensor that provides the PCM with accurate information for ignition timing.

The PCM monitors both CKP and CMP sensors. If incorrect timing or erratic signals are detected, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be generated and the check engine light may illuminate.

🔎 Possible Symptoms

⚠️ Check engine light on (or maintenance warning light)
⚠️ Loss of power
⚠️ Engine stalling
⚠️ Difficulty starting the engine

🛠️ How to Repair?

1️⃣ Refer to the “Possible Causes” section to identify components to check.
2️⃣ Visually inspect the wiring harness and associated connectors.
3️⃣ Look for the following:
🔍 Damaged components
🔍 Broken, bent, or corroded connector pins
🔍 Loose or improperly connected components

If a problem is identified, replace or repair the affected component.

Technical Notes

Description

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP), also known as the crankshaft position sensor, is an electronic device used in an engine to record the speed at which the crankshaft rotates. This information is used by the engine control module (ECM) to control ignition and fuel injection. The sensor system consists of a rotating part, typically a disk, as well as a static part, the sensor itself.
When the engine rotates, the high and low parts of the teeth cause a change in the gap with the sensor. The changing gap results in a modification of the magnetic field near the sensor. The change in the magnetic field causes a variation in the sensor voltage.

How to Repair

Check the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the wiring harness and related connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

Possible Symptoms

  • Engine light on (or service engine soon warning light)
