Just had the MIL light come on, I remember there is a key turning sequence I need to do to find out what the code is. Can someone provide the proceedure for that, and also direct me to the list so when I do get the code, I can find out what it is. Thanks M.
 
Thanks P/D, it shows P-0336, I read it's crank position sensor. I do have the PowerMax CR, but never had this happen in the 12 years I've owned this vehicle. I did however note that the light came on as I was accelerating and I felt a mild clunk as I was doing so-like the drive train skipped a tooth on a gear. I had just changed the oil in the GearVender's over drive unit, so intuitively thought that it had something to do with that??? Any thoughts, anyone?
 
Oh gawd how I grew to hate that PowerMax. It started throwing that very code more and more often. Then there were the "hickups" going down the road and sometimes other random codes thrown for no reason.
In the end I didn't even want to sell it. I chopped the harness into a dozen pieces and put it in the trash without a second thought.
Part of its problems are the tiny pins used in the connections. They're fine for digital signals but not nearly robust enough for the environment of an eng compartment with its heat and vibration.
I replaced it with a Smarty Jr. and never looked back.
Never threw that damned code or stumbled again either.

The cam and crank sensors are the same part so you can trade them and see if it follows the part. But I doubt it will.
