"Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).


1. DISCONNECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR.
- Disconnect the sensor connector.
- Remove the bolt holding the connector bracket to the water pump.
2. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
