a. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

Resistance:
At cold: 1,630 to 2,7400 ohms
At hot: 2,065 to 3,225 ohms

NOTE: Cold and Hot mean the temperature of the coils 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).

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