My new Hellcat has been in winter hybernation mode for about 8 weeks due to our 105 inches of snow but today I started it to see if the clock needed to be reset because of the DLS time change. When I started it the engine immediately started and stopped, I assumed it was because it had been sitting in my garage (which is heated) I restarted it and it ran fine BUT it threw a P0335 engine code (why??), my car has less than 800 miles on it since I picked it up on Dec 31, 2014. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ken
Fault Code P0335?

May be crankshaft position sensor ? Low voltage issues... Hmmm I would call SRT customer service but I'm sure other members could chime in and confirm or it could it be something else
P0335 Chrysler
P0335 Chrysler - Crankshaft Position Sensor
Possible causes
- Faulty crankshaft position sensor
- Crankshaft position sensor harness is open or shorted
- Crankshaft position sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Signal plate may be damage
- Starter motor may be faulty
- Starting system circuit
- Dead or weak battery
What does this mean?
Tech notes
Sometimes and in some models, low battery voltage or a weak starter can can trigger a Crankshaft Position Sensor code. Before replacing any parts, recharge or replaced battery.
What does this mean?
When is the code detected?
The crankshaft position sensor (POS) signal is not detected by the Electronic Control Module (ECM) during the first few seconds of engine cranking
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Possible lack/loss of Power
- Engine may stall while driving
P0335 Chrysler Description
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) also known as the crank position sensor is an electronic device used in an engine to record the rate at which the crankshaft is spinning. This information is used by the Electronic Control Module(ECM) to control ignition and fuel injection. The sensor system consists of a rotating part, typically a disc, as well as a static part, the actual sensor.
When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change. The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change. The change in the magnetic field cause the voltage from the sensor to change.

My guess would be a very low battery from sitting. Hopefully that's it and it's a very simple fix!
goingsolo2 you rock! Thanks for confirming
Any time
This place rocks!
This place rocks!Thanks everyone I put a charger on it and I'll start it again tomorrow and see what happens. Are codes like this self resetting or do I have to have a dealer erase the code? There's still WAY TO MUCH snow, ice and salt on the roads to chance a ride to the dealer it could be 3-4 weeks before I can take it to the dealer. Thank Again. Ken
Ken,
I had the same problem with mine. Started it in my garage last January, and it immediately turned off. Started right back up, but had code P0335. I was on my way to the dealer anyway to pick up the second black key that wasn't available when I picked up the car. My car had 900 miles on it. The dealer hook it up to diagnostics and it showed a bad "crank sensor". They got the part from their other dealer ship an hour a way, installed it, I was on my way in three hours total, never to have the issue again. If crank sensor doesn't think the engine is running (or has the crankshaft rotating) it cut the fuel pumps for safety I was told. Hope this helps... RIch
That, and put the car in shipping mode as it puts less draw on the battery as all but essential systems are turned off.
The dealer most likely put a crank sensor on to make money, they don't get paid to charge battery and clear code. If it was bad it cranks no start. Put a charger on it due to low BAT. I don't know how to clear DTC sorry let's ask our community or DocBuick
Let it sit till salt is gone
Well here's the latest news, the weather was good enough today to drive my cat to the dealership and let them take a look at it. The service writer could not have been nicer but said because the car was under warrenty they couldn't just reset the code so I had to leave the car so they could diagnose and repair as necessary which is OK with me. I was wrong on the mileage on my car the total mileage is 235. The dealership gave me a new Ram 1500 4x4 for a rental at no cost to me so I'm happy about that. Of coarse the first question they had was did I buy the car their and I said no, they couldn't get one at the time and the sales department were being jerks because the hellcats were and are so rare they wanted me to give them 10k to hold while they put me in line to order one which I thought was accessive at best. The dealer that sold me my 2012 SRT8 told me last July that he would call me when he could get the car I wanted and he called in late Dec and said he had one for me but I had to make the decision that day because he had several people that wanted it so I drove (65 miles) that morning and bought the car and then if you follow the weather news it started snowing in Boston and it just didn't stop so I didn't have much seat time before putting the car away. I'll update you all later today or tomorrow when I get the results of the service. Ken
I just picked my Cat up from the dealer and they had to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor (p/n68140678AB), I was able to talk with the tech that did the work and he told it wasn't a tough task but did require lowering the starter out of the way. The (AB) in the p/n means they've updated the part at least once. They also updated the software for both TCM & PCM there is no software version # on the invoice. I had asked the service writer NOT to test drive my car unless absolutely necessary, he called when the job was done and asked if the tech could road test the car and I said NO but if he did and anything happened they would own the car he said OK no road test. When I met the tech I told him if he wanted to road test the car I would go with him but he declined. All in all not a bad service visit I certainly had worse with my new Ford Powerstrokes. Ford had to take my 2003 F350 dually back under the lemon law and they gave me a 2004 F350 dually with a key swap no mileage cost adjustment. Know all I need is some reasonable weather to start driving my Cat again. Ken
ps: thanks to everyone for responding to this post I really appreciate the help.
