Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection


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).





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

Resistance (NE(+) and NE(-)):
Cold: 1,630 - 2,740 ohms
Hot: 2,065 - 3,225 ohms


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