Variable Valve Timing Actuator Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

1. INSPECT VVT SENSOR
a. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

Resistance:
Cold: 835 to 1,400 Ohms
Hot: 1,060 to 1,645 Ohms


NOTE:
- "Cold" and "Hot" mean the temperature of the coils themselves.
- "Cold" is from -10 degree C (14 degree F) to 50 degree C (122 degree F) and "Hot" is from 50 degree C (122 degree F) to 100 degree C (212 degree F).

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

Resistance:
Cold: 1,630 to 2,740 Ohms
Hot: 2,065 to 3,225 Ohms


NOTE:
- "Cold" and "Hot" mean the temperature of the coils themselves.
- "Cold" is from -10 degree C (14 degree F) to 50 degree C (122 degree F) and "Hot" is from 50 degree C (122 degree F) to 100 degree C (212 degree F).
