Checking Resistance

  1. Disconnect Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor connector (located on left side of cylinder block). Using a DVOM, measure resistance between CKP sensor connector (sensor side) terminals No. 1 and 2. See Fig 1 .
  2. Resistance should be approximately 1000 ohms. If resistance is not to specification, replace CKP sensor. If resistance is to specification, go to next step.
  3. Connect DVOM between CKP sensor connector (sensor side) terminals No. 1 and 3, then terminals No. 2 and 3. Resistance should be infinite (open). If resistance readings are not infinite, replace CKP sensor.
