Hello, my vehicle triggered the P0339 error code. At this time, I've changed the sensor, checked the fuse, and inspected the wiring harness link to the sensor. I drove the car around for about 500 miles and tried several different driving sequences that I read about online. But the code still remains. I have no noticeable issue with the vehicle. Starts right up, does not stall or feel like there's any loss of power. Smog test is due and my concern is that the smog won't pass and that there may be some other issue with my vehicles. Any trouble shooting ideas I can try / inspect? Thanks for your help.

The error code P0339 in vehicles, including a 2013 Honda Accord, generally stands for "Crankshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Intermittent." Did you clear the codes once the job was complete? If not, this could be the reason. A circuit Intermittent issue is because the circuit is because the connection comes and goes so if you changed out the sensor the wiring will need to be inspected and tested, here is a guide to help see how to do the job and I have included engine and crankshaft wiring diagrams so you can see which wires to test.

I have also included the location of the crankshaft sensor to make sure we are on the same page and how to do the sensor relearn procedure as well. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Thank you for your help and reply. Question, in order to clear and reset crankshaft sensors. Is this software or scan tool something I can purchase? Maybe find it on Amazon? Thank you for your help :).

Your scanner should be able to, if not you can get one on Amazon.

I actually have that exact scanner. Codes were cleared once I replaced the CKP. At 200ish miles I rescanned to check readiness and the P0339 code was present. Check engine light has not come on. From installation to present day I have around 600 driving miles. Other than erasing the codes is there something else that would need to be done? I think that's where I'm a little confused.
