2007 Dodge Durango 5.7 Hemi P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor: Diagnosis and Fix Guide

Model: 2007 Dodge Durango 5.7 Hemi Fault Code: P0335 Posted: 2016-04-09 07:04

I own a 2007 Dodge Durango with the 5.7L Hemi engine. While driving, the truck suddenly acted erratically—displaying a red lightning bolt warning symbol—and then shut down completely. A diagnostic check revealed code P0335, indicating a crankshaft position sensor issue. I replaced the crankshaft sensor, but afterward, the vehicle still wouldn't start and a new error code appeared: low voltage. As a precaution, I also replaced the camshaft position sensor. Despite these efforts, the truck remains unstartable, and now I'm receiving a 'crankshaft sensor module A' fault code. I'm currently stuck and would appreciate any guidance on how to proceed. The P0335 code does not necessarily mean a faulty sensor—it may indicate a circuit issue rather than a failed component. Possible causes include: - 5-Volt Supply Circuit Shorted to Voltage or Ground - 5-Volt Supply Circuit Open - Crankshaft Position Sensor Signal Circuit Open or Shorted - Ground Circuit for the Sensor (K900) - Wiring issues between the sensor and PCM I'm wondering if my scan tool reads all stored codes and provides live data. If not, I may be missing critical diagnostic clues. Additionally, I've tested the battery and alternator—both appear functional—but I want to confirm whether there could be a deeper electrical or wiring problem. Any advice on next steps would be greatly appreciated.

The red lightning bolt warning is often associated with throttle control issues, such as fly-by-wire systems in vehicles like the 2007 Dodge Durango. This could indicate a separate issue beyond just the P0335 code. Important note: The P0335 code does not always point to a faulty sensor—it may reflect a circuit problem. Always check for underlying wiring faults or power supply issues. Possible causes: - 5-Volt Supply Circuit Shorted to Voltage or Ground - 5-Volt Supply Circuit Open - Crankshaft Position Sensor Signal Circuit Open or Shorted - Ground Circuit (K900) failure - Wiring between sensor and PCM Ensure your OBD2 scanner can read all stored codes and display live data. Missing real-time signals may lead to misdiagnosis. Also, verify that the battery is fully charged and connections are secure. A weak or failing alternator could contribute to intermittent issues. If possible, have a professional test the battery and charging system at a local shop before considering further repairs.

Agree with the previous post—many users overlook basic electrical checks when diagnosing P0335. Before replacing sensors, confirm that the battery is healthy and the alternator is properly charging. A simple battery test at a local auto shop can rule out power-related issues. If the battery passes testing, then focus on wiring integrity between the crankshaft sensor and PCM. Look for corrosion, loose connections, or damaged harnesses. In some cases, even after replacing sensors, a faulty ground or voltage supply can cause persistent errors. Also, ensure your scan tool supports live data monitoring—this helps identify intermittent faults that may not appear in stored codes.

My 2007 Dodge Durango also experiences sudden stalling at stops. I've replaced multiple components including sensors and fuel system parts, but no P0335 code appears—only a P0138 (O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2). This suggests that the issue might be related to engine management or timing, not just sensor failure. It's possible that underlying electrical or software issues are at play in both cases.
