Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

NOTE: "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).

INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE




Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance:
Cold: 1,630 - 2,740 Ohms
Hot: 2,065 - 3,225 Ohms

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the crankshaft position sensor.
