CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR INSPECTION [WL-3]


id0140b5800500

Note
•  Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the procedure as indicated in the troubleshooting flowchart. (See HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL.)

Visual Inspection

1.  Remove the CKP sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-3].)

2.  Verify that there are no metal shavings on the sensor.

3.  Install the CKP sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-3].)


Voltage Inspection

1.  Idle the engine.

Caution
•  Water penetrating the connector will cause sensor malfunction. To prevent this, be careful not to damage the wiring harnesses or the waterproof connector so as to cause water penetration.

2.  Measure the output voltage using a oscilloscope.

•  If not within the specification, replace the CMP sensor. (See CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-C, WE-C].)
•  If as specified, carry out the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.

Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1.  Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-3].)

2.  Disconnect the CKP connector.

3.  Inspect the following wiring harness for open or short circuit (continuity check).

•  If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harnesses.
