Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR




Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

Resistance:
1,630 to 2,740 ohms at cold

2,065 to 3,225 ohms at hot

NOTE: The terms "cold" and "hot" refer to the temperature of the coils. "Cold" means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). "Hot" means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

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