Code 8 - TDC/Crank Sensor

  1. Turn ignition off and remove hazard fuse at battery positive terminal for 10 seconds to reset ECU. Start engine and observe Check Engine light. If light is off, problem is intermittent. Test drive and check again.
  2. If light is on, turn ignition off. Disconnect sensor connector at distributor. See Figure . Measure resistance between terminals "B" and "C". If resistance is not 350-550 ohms, replace distributor assembly. If resistance value is within specification, individually check for continuity between ground and terminal "B" and then terminal "C". If continuity exists, sensor is shorted to ground. Replace distributor assembly.
  3. Reconnect sensor connector. Connect system checker harness to main wiring harness only, not to ECU. Measure resistance between terminals C3 and C4. If resistance is not 350-550 ohms, repair open or short in Orange/Blue and/or White/Blue wire. If resistance value is within specification, substitute a known good ECU. If condition is rectified, replace original ECU.
