Crankshaft Position Sensor: Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

Measure the resistance of the sensor.

Standard resistance

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
1 - 2	Cold	985 to 1,600 Ω
1 - 2	Hot	1,265 to 1,890 Ω

NOTE: The terms "Cold" and "Hot" refer to the temperature of the sensor. "Cold" means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). "Hot" means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F). If the result is not as specified, replace the crankshaft position sensor.
