Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION

NOTICE: Cold and Hot in these sentences express the temperature of the sensor itself.
"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).





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 Ohm
Hot: 1,265 - 1,890 Ohm

- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the crankshaft position sensor.
3. RECONNECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR
