Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION

NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in the following 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.
- Disconnect the sensor connector.
- Remove the bolt holding the connector bracket to the water pump.
2. Inspect crankshaft position sensor resistance.

Ohmmeter Connection:

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

Resistance (Cold): 1,630 - 2,740 Ohms

Resistance (Hot): 2,065 - 3,225 Ohms

- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the crankshaft position sensor.
3. Reconnect crankshaft position sensor connector.
