Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and 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 (104°F) and Hot Is from 50°C (104°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 NE (+) and NE (-): 1,630 - 2,740 Ohms.
Hot NE (+) and NE (-): 2,065 - 3,225 Ohms.


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