Code 9: Crank/CYL Sensor

- Turn ignition off. Remove ACG fuse in underdash fuse box for 10 seconds to reset ECU. Start engine, and connect jumper wire to diagnostic connector. Observe CHECK ENGINE light. If light is not flashing, problem is intermittent. Check for poor and loose connections at CRANK/CYL sensor connector and connector C353 at right shock tower. Test drive, and check again.
- If CHECK ENGINE light is flashing Code 9, turn ignition off. Disconnect 8-pin CRANK/CYL sensor connector nearest sensor. Measure resistance across Blue/Yellow and Yellow/Green terminals at sensor. See Figure . If reading is not 650-900 ohms, replace sensor. If reading is within specification, proceed to next step.
- Check continuity between ground and sensor Blue/Yellow wire terminal. Check continuity between ground and sensor Yellow/Green terminal. If continuity exists, sensor is shorted to ground. Replace sensor. If no continuity exists, go to next step.
- Reconnect sensor connector. Attach ECU test harness to main wire harness side only. Measure resistance between terminals B11 and B12. See Figure . Resistance should be 650-900 ohms.
- If resistance is not within specification, repair open in Blue/Yellow and/or Yellow/Green wire. If resistance is within specification, check continuity of harness terminal B11 to ground. If continuity is not present, substitute a known good ECU. If condition goes away, replace ECU.
- If continuity exists, repair short to ground in Yellow/Green wire between harness terminal B11 and 8-pin CRANK/CYL sensor connector.
