Code 54: Crank/CYL Sensor

- Turn ignition off. Remove ACG fuse in underdash fuse box for 10 seconds to reset ECU. Start engine, and jumper 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 54, turn ignition off. Disconnect 8-pin CRANK/CYL sensor connector nearest sensor. Measure resistance across Green/White and Black/White terminals at sensor. See Figure . If reading is not 650-900 ohms, replace sensor. If reading is within specification, go to next step.
- Check continuity between ground and sensor Green/White wire terminal. Check continuity between ground and sensor Black/White 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 harness terminals B13 and B14. See Figure . Resistance should be 650-900 ohms.
- If resistance is not within specification, repair open in Green/White and/or Black/White wire. If resistance is within specification, check continuity of harness terminal B13 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 Black/White wire between harness terminal B13 and 8-pin CRANK/CYL sensor connector.
