Note

• Perform the following test only when directed.

Caution

• When foreign material, such as iron chips, gets on the CKP sensor, it can cause abnormal output from the sensor because of flux turbulence and adversely affect engine control. Be sure there is no foreign material on the CKP sensor when replacing.

• Do not forcefully pull the wiring harness of the CKP sensor. Doing so will break the harness.

Visual Inspection

1.Verify that the CKP sensor and the pulsar are free of any metallic shavings or particles.

• If any are found on the CKP sensor and the pulsar, clean them off.

Air Gap Inspection

1.Verify that the CKP sensor is securely installed.

2.Using a thickness gauge, measure the air gap between the plate projections at the back of crankshaft pulley and the CKP sensor.

• If not within the specification, inspect the plate projections for cracks or bending.

― If there is any malfunction, replace the plate.

Voltage Inspection

1.Idle the engine.

2.Measure the CKP sensor output wave pattern using an oscilloscope. (See PCM INSPECTION [MZR-CD 2.2])

• If not within the specification, replace the CKP sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR-CD 2.2].)
