Other reasons
Hi there,
Your P1336 is usually due to the fact of variations of the signal itself, which will be a kind of a square sine wave of electricity. A the rear signal ring is a casting installed on the back of the crankshaft, they are never perfect.
The variation relearn is to allow the PCM to know the imperfections of this signal, and not to misinterpret the signal as a misfire occurance.
We are instructed to do the relearn if we replace the CKP sensor, as John pointed out. Also, if the PCM is reprogrammed, the variation is not remembered.
So, just have your local dealer do the relearn, and it will not take more than 5 mins, once the car is at operating temperature.
Besttoyou, c4c5:z:
