Checking the Resistance of the Position Sensor




Checking The Resistance Of The Position Sensor







Unplug the connector:
- Crankshaft position sensor (345)







Take a resistance reading between

1 - Crankshaft position sensor
2 - Crankshaft position sensor


The reading should be 485 Ohm - 595 Ohm

Checking the wiring harness
Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at several places and in different directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short circuits in the wiring harness. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic tool while doing this.

Is the function correct?

NO - Changing Components - II

YES - Continue With Checking The Resistance Of The Position Sensor







Measure the resistance. The value should be infinite.

1 - Crankshaft position sensor
3 - Crankshaft position sensor


Checking the wiring harness.
Jiggle the leads and in-line connectors at several places and in different directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short circuits in the wiring harness. Observe the multimeter, test lamp or diagnostic tool while doing this.

Is the reading correct?

NO - Changing Components - II
