"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 FROM GENERATOR DRIVE BELT ADJUSTING BAR
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.
