Component

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

INSPECTION
This component requires that it be tested as a system and cannot be tested alone. <DTC 214






Inspection
1. Disconnect the ignition control module connector with Terminals 1-6. Leave the connector with Terminals 7-12 connected.
2. Connect a voltmeter between ignition control module harness connector Terminal 2 (GY) and ground.
3. Bump the engine in short bursts with the starter without starting the engine for at least five engine revolutions.
4. Verify that the voltage switches between less than 2.OV to more than 8.OV.
5 Repeat steps 3. and 4. with voltmeter between the ignition control module harness connector Terminal 4 (DL) and ground. See TSB 014/94 issued 5/19/94 page # 9, 2.3 L article.

6. If the voltage is not as specified, check the wiring harness. If the wiring harness is OK, replace the crankshaft position sensor.

Removal
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.






2 Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor assembly electrical connectors from the engine harness.
3. Remove the large harness connector from the crankshaft position sensor assembly by prying out the red retaining clip and removing the four wires.
4. Remove the drive belt. (Refer Charging System Belt Removal.)
5. Remove the crankshaft pulley. (Refer to Crankshaft Damper Removal.)
6. Remove the timing belt outer cover. (Refer Timing Belt Outer Cover Removal.)
7. Rotate the crankshaft so that the keyway is at the ten 0'clock position. This will place the vane window of both inner and outer vane cups over the crankshaft position sensor assembly.






8. Remove the two crankshaft position sensor assembly bolts, and the plastic wire harness retainer which secures the crankshaft position sensor harness to its bracket. Then remove the crankshaft positiontion sensor assembly, sliding the electrical wires out from behind the inner timing belt cover.

Installation
1. Remove the large harness connector from the new crankshaft position sensor.






2. Position the crankshaft position sensor. First slide the electrical wires behind the inner timing belt cover. Then, hold the sensor assembly loosely in place with the bolts, but do not tighten bolts at this time.






3. Install the large harness connector onto the crankshaft position sensor assembly.

Caution: Make sure the four wires to the large harness connector are installed in the proper locations as indicated. The sensor will not function properly if the wires are installed in the wrong locations.

4. Reconnect both of the crankshaft position sensor harness connectors to the engine harness.
5. Rotate the crankshaft so that the outer vane on the crankshaft pulley hub assembly engages both sides of the SST and tighten the sensor assembly bolts. Tightening torque: 2.5-3.5 N.m {26-34 kgf.cm, 22-30 in.lbf}

Crankshaft Position Sensor:

6. Rotate the crankshaft such that the vane on the crankshaft pulley hub assembly is no longer engaged in the positioning tool. Then, remove the SST.






7. Install the new plastic wire harness retainer to secure the crankshaft position sensor harness to its bracket. Trim off the excess.
8. Install the timing belt outer cover. (Refer to Timing Belt Cover Installation).
9. Install the crankshaft pulley. (Refer to Crankshaft Damper Installation.)
Tightening torque: 29-37 N.m {3.0-3.7 kgf.m, 22-27 ft.lb}
10. Install the drive belt. (Refer Drive Belt Installation.)
