Engine Speed Sensors

  1. Remove Gray (engine RPM) and Black (ignition timing reference) connectors from bracket near ignition coil. Connect ohmmeter to each sensor connector terminals No. 1 and 2. See Fig 1 . Ohmmeter reading should be 1000 ohms.
  2. If not, replace sensor(s). If reading is correct, check continuity between each sensor connector terminals No. 1 and 3, and 2 and 3. If ohmmeter reading is not infinity (4), replace sensor(s).
  3. Unplug connector from ECU. Check wiring between harness side of each sensor connector and ECU. See Figure and Fig 1 . Ensure each wire between ECU and sensor connectors has zero ohms of resistance. See ENGINE SPEED SENSOR CIRCUITS chart.
