Hall Effect Sensor

  1. Turn ignition on. To measure voltage supply to Hall effect sensor, connect voltmeter between EZK Ignition Control Unit terminals No. 4 and No. 10. Reading should be 10 volts or battery voltage.
  2. To measure signal from Hall Effect sensor, connect voltmeter between EZK Ignition Control Unit terminals No. 10 and No. 24. Slowly turn engine over by hand. Reading should be less than 0.4 volt (shutter wheel in open position) or greater than 3.0 volts (shutter wheel in closed position.
  3. If readings are not as specified, check wiring harness and connectors. If wiring and connectors are okay, replace Hall Effect sensor (located behind crankshaft pulley).
  4. If engine runs, but has poor performance, check ignition timing. If at any time the timing marks appear to be moving back and forth, the sensor should be inspected for chips or loosely mounted magnet. Repair or replace as necessary.
