CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION

NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in these sentences express the temperature of the sensors themselves. "Cold" is from - 10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).

1. REMOVE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR





2. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance:
Cold: 835 - 1,400 Ohms
Hot: 1,060 - 1,645 Ohms


If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
3. REINSTALL CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
