3. INSPECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE.



- Using an ohmmeter. measure the resistance between terminals.

NOTE: Cold and Hot in the following specifications express the temperature of the sensors themselves.

Resistance (COLD): {from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F)}
Nippondenso:.... 835 - 1,400 Ohms
Asian: ....985 - 1,600 Ohms

Resistance (HOT): {from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F)}
Nippondenso:....1,060 - 1,645 Ohms
Asian.....1.265 - 1,890 Ohms

^ If the resistance is not as specified. replace the crank shaft position sensor.

4. RECONNECT CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.
