To check whether the coolant is entering into the engine oil or not, do the following. - Park the car on a level floor. - Check engine oil level on the dip stick and mark it with nail polish. Let it dry. Confirm the oil level. Put the dip stick back. - Apply about 10 psi external pressure to the coolant system, while keeping caps in place. NOTE: It is advised to use the coolant system tester. In case the tester is not available, ask any technician to do it for you. Or you can use a bicycle pump with gauge installed on it to pressure the system up to 10 psi. The system should held the pressure up to 30 Seconds. - If the pressure is maintained for 30 Seconds every thing is good at this time. Ensure that the air is not leaking through your external pump system with which you are testing the system. If the pressure drops, there will be a leakage some where. Either external or internal. External leakage can easily be observed while carefully examining the hose pipes, clips and joints on the engine. Internal leakage can be determined by checking the engine oil level again. - Take out the dip stick and inspect the oil level. If the engine oil level increases it confirm the internal leakage. - Internal coolant leakage could be due to:- 1. Cylinder head bolts loose or under torqued. (Re-Torque the bolts). 2. Burnt cylinder head gasket. (Always use original spares). 3. Cylinder and head surfaces warped. (Surface grind the cylinder head on surface grinding machine and replace the gasket). 4. Any corroded lid in the cylinder block or cylinder head assembly. 5. Oil cooler, if any. If the test report of above mentioned procedure is found to be OK, start the engine, pull up dip stick a little, open breather tube from the tappet cover, keep it open and keep the engine start for as long as the water vapors coming out of these points disappear and the engine oil will become clear to its original color. At times it happens that immediately after replacing the cylinder head gasket some coolant may flow into the engine unavoidably and keep contaminating the engine oil for quite some time. Hope that works. Thank you for visiting Fixya.

I'm afraid that one needs to go to a transmission shop .

Hi Rich, I have reset computers on my vehicles by removing the battery terminal, and then contacting the two terminals together for a few seconds - away form the battery. This should take any residual charge from the car system, and computer. Wait a couple of minutes, then re-connect the terminals to the battery. Usually this loses the stored stations on your radio, so have the security codes ready to reset your radio. Hope this helps you.

Refer to repair manual.

Code "P0336" is the code for a crankshaft position sensor (CPS) fault. The connection may just be loose but it probably needs to be replaced.
