What does the Peugeot 307 P1336 permanent fault mean?
2 Answers
Peugeot 307 P1336 permanent fault refers to the crankshaft position sensor target gear error fault. It is necessary to use a decoder to perform target gear error learning for the vehicle's crankshaft position sensor, so that the ECU can accurately know the specific position of the crankshaft operation, and thus determine the top dead center of each cylinder. If the vehicle is a new model equipped with an OBD system, because the gear learning has not been performed, the fault light will illuminate after starting the engine, and the P1336 fault code will be stored when detected by the decoder. The Dongfeng Peugeot 307 is an elegant and highly distinctive car, with its front face resembling the majestic appearance of a lion, especially the two headlights that shine like the eyes of a lion, exuding authority without anger, which is a common feature inherited from the Peugeot series. In terms of body dimensions, the Peugeot 307 measures 4212mm in length, 1762mm in width, and 1531mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2608mm.
As a Peugeot 307 owner, I was startled when encountering the P1336 permanent fault warning last time. This code essentially indicates an issue with either the engine's camshaft position sensor or variable valve timing system, meaning the sensor might have failed in detecting valve opening/closing timing. A permanent fault doesn't mean it'll self-recover - it's a hard code recorded by the ECU that can cause severe shaking during startup and even sudden stalling at high speeds, posing safety risks. I immediately took it to the repair shop for diagnosis, which revealed poor contact in the sensor wiring. Replacing the component solved the problem. Remember not to delay - such faults are serious matters. Regular oil condition maintenance can help prevent similar troubles.
