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).

1. Disconnect crankshaft position sensor connector.





2. Inspect crankshaft position sensor resistance.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance:
Cold: 985 - 1,600 ohms
Hot: 1,265 - 1,890 ohms


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