I'm working on a 2001 Nissan Almera N16 with a permanent P0335 CKP Sensor Circuit. The CKP sensor has been replaced. Wiring checks have been done in accordance with Paul's teaching and the ECU has been replaced. Signal, Power and ground all check satisfactory with Picoscope. Still the P0335 persists. Does anyone have a direction I can take from here.
Francis.

Welcome to the forum.
When you say "permanent P0335", are you referring to Mode 10 Permanent Codes?
Or, are you referring to a persistent, currently active code? Is the CEL illuminated?
Do you have any noticeable performance issues? No start, hard start, misfires...?
I'd like to see a waveform of the crank position signal, captured from the ECM connector.

Thanks for your input. You are right it's a persistent code with MIL on all the time. No starting, missing or other driveability issues.
I will attach the waveform taken with my Picoscope.

Make sure that your crank sensor has a good ground.
Can you share the .psdata file, via google drive link?

Hi Chad. Above is the link to see the waveform file. I hope I have done it correctly.
The sensor is grounded at the computer and the computer grounds all check good. additionally I have cleaned the grounds on the engine.

You said that the Crank position sensor has, already, been replaced. Was it replaced with and OEM sensor? Or, aftermarket?
If it was replaced with and aftermarket sensor, I would replace it, again, with an OEM sensor and keep my fingers crossed.

...which doesn't necessarily mean that the crank sensor has a good ground. I don't mean to nit pick, but you do need to measure the crank sensor ground directly to determine if the sensor will be capable of pulling the signal to ground. There could potentially be a circuit or computer issue keeping the sensor ground elevated, in turn keeping the signal from being pulled to ground.The sensor is grounded at the computer and the computer grounds all check good. additionally I have cleaned the grounds on the engine.

Hi Chad, Here's the CKP/CMP waveform.

I just realized that my CKP waveform has 17 peaks when all the waveforms on the forum for the same make model vehicle have 16.
I believe the difference is the engine size. You, probably, have the 1.5L. Here, is a link to a 1.5L KG:

I believe the 1.8L has 16 teeth.

Your Cam is 4° retarded.
The wheel of the Crank is 36-2 teeth. Each tooth of the crank signal is 10°
I don't know how tight Nissan specifications are but, I have never seen 4° cause an instant code.
Does this vehicle have a Cam/Crank relearn routine in the PCM?
