Drivable short-term, but fix now to avoid damage.
P0335 means the computer isn't getting a proper signal from the crankshaft position sensor. This sensor tells the engine where the pistons are, so the computer can time spark and fuel. Common causes include a failed sensor, wiring faults, or a damaged reluctor ring, and it can lead to stalling or no-start conditions.
$150 – $600
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
It's risky. The engine can stall or fail to start without warning, so it's safer to limit driving and get it fixed as soon as possible.
Usually between $150 and $600, depending on sensor location and labor. Wiring repairs can be cheaper, while hard-to-reach sensors cost more.
Yes. The crankshaft sensor is essential to engine operation, and a failure can leave you stranded, so it should be addressed quickly.
Without a crankshaft signal, the computer often can't fire spark or fuel, so the engine may crank but never start.
