Hey all,
I had a crank-no start issue on my 2004 LX470 ~160k miles. It gave a code of P0335 (crankshaft position sensor, "CPS"). I pulled the error code diagnostics from Motor.com for the make and year and followed the diagnostic pathway. Checked the sensor and the resistance was within spec. Went to check the wiring and saw that it does look like someone had to repair the wire from the accessory belt rubbing the CPS wire at some point. No history of repair in Lexus history report. Anyway, I went to check for open and short in the wire but that's where I found a discrepancy in the diagnostic algorithm from Motor.com and the car. I've attached the photos here but "NE-" wire is not in the location it says from the diagnostic algorithm (red arrow in picture on the wiring harness side of the computer). Also, the "NE+" doesn't appear to have continuity with either of the wires from wiring harness side of the sensor itself. Any advice? Does anyone have a physical manual they can cross check with?
Also, there is clearly a wire that looks like hell on the wiring harness side of the computer (green arrow in picture). Any idea how to find what that goes to so I can see how it is doing as well??
Just as an update, after putting everything back together the crank-no start has resolved, so it is an intermittent crank-no start.
I appreciate any advice!!
