CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION

NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in the following sentences express the temperature of the sensors themselves.
"Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F).
"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.
