Default P0336 code

I've been having this code keep popping up(keep clearing with a cheap scan tool but it comes back after 2 or 3 starts). It's for the crank position sensor. I've replaced the sensor twice now. It runs perfectly fine, accelerates as it should, idles well, no misfires or anything. The harness is covered with a wire loom but from what I can see there's no damaged wires. Does anyone know which pins the crank sensor is on the ecu? There isn't relearn process for it is there?

have you been replacing the crank position sensor with the genuine Toyota (Nippon Denso) part or an aftermarket?

I would check the wiring from the ECU to the crankshaft position sensor with an ohmmeter and also check the voltage to it

does anyone have a wiring diagram or a schematic of the crank position sensor to the ecu?

EDIT: Nevermind. Found the diagram on Lextreme. Going to test the harness for a short.
