P0387

Crankshaft Position Sensor B Circuit Low Input

DTC P0387, sometimes indicated as P038700 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the ignition system causing crankshaft position sensor b circuit low input.

This code is set when the PCM detects a low voltage input signal from the crankshaft position sensor B. This sensor is used to detect the position of the crankshaft and is used by the PCM for ignition timing and fuel injection.
Common causes of this code include a bad crankshaft position sensor, a bad wiring connection, or a bad PCM.
If this code is set, first check the wiring connections to the crankshaft position sensor. If the connections are good, then test the crankshaft position sensor for proper operation. If the sensor is good, then the PCM may need to be replaced.
