Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota MR2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil. The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The engine ECM detects the crankshaft angle and the engine speed based on the NE signals, and identifies the cylinder based on the G2 (Camshaft position sensor) and NE signals. Crankshaft position sensor is just above oil pan on driver's side of engine and 34-tooth signal plate is located on the front of the crankshaft.
