Default Fault codes on 4x4

Hello,

i've read faults code from ECU (saph 4x4 L8 red label w/out lambda).
What means 1.1 code on RUNNING engine???
(crankshaft sensor in fault code table)

PS I think the engine can't run with incorrect crankhaft sensor...

you may find the ecu picks this fault up every time the engine starts up, as its rotating slowly

So, don't panic, yeah?
Yesterday i read codes many times. Most time was rapid flashing (no errors), but sometimes was 1.1 code. The engine works equally each time...

im not sure if the cossie sufers from this code but many engine managment systems do,

check your gap, and wiring to the sensor

The crank sensor will work with wildly different gaps to the stated gap of 0.6mm to 1.0mm.
