Resistance Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8 and 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the eccentric shaft position sensor connector.
- Measure the coil resistance between eccentric shaft position sensor terminals A and B.
- If not within the specification, replace the eccentric shaft position sensor.
- If the monitor item condition/specification (reference) is not within the specification, even though the eccentric shaft position sensor resistance is within the specification, perform the "CIRCUIT OPEN/SHORT INSPECTION " and repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
Eccentric shaft position sensor resistance
- 950-1,250 ohms (at room temperature)
