Pinpoint Test CKP - Crankshaft Position Sensor

NOTE: Enter this test only when Code 02 is displayed during QUICK TESTS procedure or when directed here from another PINPOINT TEST.

CKP CIRCUIT PIN IDENTIFICATION

Circuit PCM Pin BOB Pin Wire Color
CKP 2E 56 GRN/BLK
GND 2C 16 BLK/LT GRN
VPWR 1B 37, 57 YEL/WHT

1)  Turn ignition off. Install BOB. Reconnect PCM. Measure voltage at BOB test pin CKP while bumping starter. If voltage does not alternate between about zero and 5 volts, go to next step. If voltage alternates as specified, CKP circuit is okay. Return to QUICK TESTS  if sent here from there; otherwise temporarily substitute known good PCM and repeat test to check for improvement.

2)  Turn ignition off. Unplug 6-pin distributor connector. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage on VPWR (Yellow/Black) wire at harness connector. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not greater than 10 volts, repair VPWR wire to distributor.

3)  Turn ignition off. Measure resistance between GND (Black) wire at harness connector and ground. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not less than 5 ohms, repair Black wire to ground.

4)  Turn ignition off. Install BOB, leaving PCM disconnected. Measure resistance between BOB test pin CKP and CKP wire (Green/Black) at harness connector. If resistance is less than 5 ohms, go to next step. If resistance is not less than 5 ohms, repair Green/Black wire.

5)  Turn ignition off. Install BOB, leaving PCM disconnected. Measure resistance between BOB test pin CKP and ground. Measure resistance between CKP (Green/Black) wire and each other wire at harness connector. If all measurements are greater than 10,000 ohms, replace distributor. If any measurement is not greater than 10,000 ohms, repair shorted CKP wire.
