Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

NOTE : "Cold" and "Hot" in these sentences express the temperature of the coils and sensors themselves. "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
a. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
b. Remove the bolt holding the connector bracket to the water pump.




c. 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 sensor.

d. Reinstall the bolt holding the connector bracket to the water pump.
e. Reconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
