P0315 — Crankshaft Position System Variation Not Learned
The PCM has not yet learned the crankshaft position variation table required for accurate misfire detection. After flywheel/sensor replacement or PCM relearn, a procedure must be performed (typically deceleration from a defined RPM with closed throttle).
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
Affected components
- Crankshaft position sensor
- Flywheel
- Powertrain control module
Possible causes to check
These are possible checks, not a ranked diagnosis. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's test procedure before replacing parts.
- Relearn procedure not yet performed
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- This code can affect emissions

Check each reference's vehicle and model-year scope. General background links do not establish which fault is most likely on your vehicle.
Diagnostic information is provided for reference only. Confirm the code with a compatible scan tool and follow the vehicle manufacturer's service procedures before replacing components.
