P0335 error code

[biggoolies]

Hi have not posted much here as my truck has been sitting for the past several years. With this we are getting it up and running. It starts and runs but we are getting a p0335 error or a crankshaft position sensor error. Now I understand it can be the sensor itself or a corroded wire or contact to the sensor. If anybody can help us solve this issue we will be eternally grateful. We are having to travel from the Yucatan Mexico across the country for 2000 miles or 3000 km so it must be working well.
Questions
1. Where is the location of the sensor? It is a 2006 FG140 I have the 2005 service manual which is confusing. It indicates it is on the bell housing near the clutch. Would it not be near the crankshaft? Also seems they use different terms for it. Revolution sensor or speed sensor unless those are different sensors? Of course I have a manual transmission.
If it is defective, I hope to find one here hopefully or can order one in.

Thanks for your help. If anyone has had this issue, please let me know.

That is the confusing thing. I am reading what you are showing as actually the vehicle speed sensor rather than the engine speed sensor. The service manual is beyond belief confusing imho.

That's the sensor that the manual states is the one that produces the P0335 error.

Sadly, these workshop manuals are not really a DIY resource; they assume a level of technical knowledge that someone like a mechanic would have.
They are more akin to a technical specifications resource.
So yes... they can be very confusing.

If your truck has been sitting for some time, I would be checking all of the earth terminal connections, as corrosion in this area is a known problem with these trucks.

Thanks will be checking that. we have a local mechanic that is checking everything over and I will be taking a few test drives before the long journey. we also have a concern of the tires sitting for that period of time also.
