You should review the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) list for other dtcs except dtc p0315. Proceed with the crankshaft position variation learn procedure on the scan tool, then execute wot acceleration followed by throttle release before the engine reaches its rpm limit during fuel cut-off. Rush to release the throttle right away when the engine passes beyond the rpm limit. Proceed with these steps: block the drive wheels, set the parking brake without touching the Brake Pedal, cycle through off-to-on ignition before holding the brake since the engine operates at idle with a/c off and vehicle positioned in park or neutral. The scan tool tracks particular component signals which comprise ckp sensor activity next to cmp sensor activity while recording engine coolant temperature. Continue engine idling until the coolant temperature reaches its proper level. Through the scan tool follow the crankshaft position system variation learn procedure then drive at wide open throttle but immediately release throttle control when the engine starts slowing down to recover engine control. A fuel cut-off condition will reveal learn status during throttle release through the scan tool. Learned this ignition. The system finishes its ckp variation learn process once dtc p0315 successfully runs without error. Check dtc p0315 first when the learn procedure fails or if the learn procedure never runs followed by inspection of all other dtcs in the system.
