Crankshaft Position Sensor: RAV4

Disconnect crankshaft position sensor electrical connector located near front of engine. See Figure. Crankshaft position sensor is located on timing chain cover, near crankshaft pulley.
Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on crankshaft position sensor electrical connector. Ensure crankshaft position sensor resistance is within specification. See CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE table. Replace crankshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. See CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR under IGNITION SYSTEMS in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - 4-CYLINDER article. Reinstall crankshaft position sensor electrical connector.
