CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

[Paul693]

I have a 2017 Alterra TRV 500 Yesterday when I went to move it, it stalled, it will start and run for 20-30 seconds and stalls again. The EFI is reporting fault P0336 which indicates a problem with the signal from the crankshaft position sensor. I am reconditioning the battery since my internet searches say a low battery may cause this but where is the crankshaft position sensor on the TRV 500 and does it actually have one?

I downloaded the service manual from Cat Country and on page 203 it says I should have 96-144 Ohms between the green and blue wires, but I searched on Partzilla, Cat Country and the Artic Cat Part House and I cannot find a crankshaft position sensor anywhere in the parts breakdowns.

Does anyone have an idea or part number for the CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR? on a 2017 Alterra TRV 500

Well, I found it, it is built into the stator assembly. The wire comes out on top left of the engine and the wires are routed under the intake manifold with the connector being on the right of the engine. Mine is zip-tied to the positive wire to the starter motor. Mine reads 100 ohms.

Update: After reconditioning the battery, the quad runs and no longer is showing the P0336 error. It is probably time for a new battery.

Glad you got it sorted out The P0336 error can be a little confusing if you don't know that the sensor is tucked into the stator. Battery just low this whole time? Hmmmm.
