WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Toyota Avalon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect electrical connector from crankshaft position sensor, located near crankshaft pulley. See Fig 1.
- Manufacturer recommends removing crankshaft position sensor before checking the resistance. Remove bolt and crankshaft position sensor.
- Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between electrical terminals on crankshaft position sensor. Replace crankshaft position sensor if resistance is not 1630-2740 ohms at 68°F (20°C) and 2060-3225 ohms at 122-212°F (50-100°C).
- Reinstall crankshaft position sensor. Install and tighten crankshaft position sensor bolt to 71 INCH lbs. (8.0 N.m). Reinstall electrical connector on crankshaft position sensor.
