- Inspect the CKP sensor for looseness and correct installation.
- Connect jumper wires from the CKP sensor connector 12-volt reference CKP sensor 1 terminal D and the low reference CKP sensor 1 terminal C to the CKP sensor. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
- Connect a DMM to the CKP sensor signal CKP sensor 1 terminal B at the CKP sensor and ground and observe the Duty cycle. Pass a steel object by the sensor repeatedly. The Duty Cycle should increment.
- If the Duty Cycle does not increment, replace the CKP sensor.
