Measuring condition: 

NOTE:
  • For measurement of the waveform of the crankshaft position sensor, we recommend using the DST-i oscilloscope function or a general oscilloscope.
  • Perform measurement after warming up the engine.
  • Set the select lever in "P" range or "N" range, or the shift lever in neutral.
  • Turn the A/C to OFF.
  • Turn all the accessory switches to OFF.
  • At idling
