      NOTE: In the above section, the terms "cold" and "hot" refer to the temperature of the coils. "Cold" means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). "Hot" means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).
    1. NG: REPLACE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (See  REPLACEMENT  ) 
    2. OK: Go to next step. 
  2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (CKP SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the C6 CKP sensor connector.
