Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION

NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in the following sentences express the temperature of the sensor itself. "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).

INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE





Using an ohmmeter. measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance:
Cold: 1,630 - 2,740 ohms
Hot: 2,065 - 3,225 ohms


If the resistance is not as specified, replace the crankshaft position sensor.
