Test Procedures

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. JD1 CHECK THE CKP SENSOR SIGNAL TO THE PCM 
    NOTE: With electronic throttle control (ETC), erroneous ignition and ETC-related DTCs may be set due to salt water intrusion into the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor harness connector. These DTCs are set in the following combination:
    • P0320, P0351, and P2106  .

    Thoroughly clean the connector, pack with di-electric grease and retest. If the problem returns, continue the CKP sensor diagnosis.
    • Battery fully charged and starting system functioning properly.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the RPM PID.
    • Crank the engine using the engine cranking diagnostic mode. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODES .

    Is the engine speed between 900 - 1,200 RPM? 

    Yes No
    The CKP, PCM, and harness are working properly.
    Concern is elsewhere. RETURN to SYMPTOM CHARTS - HYBRID ESCAPE for further direction.
    Key in OFF position.
    GO to  JD2.
  2. JD2 CHECK THE TIMING COVER, CKP SENSOR, AND CRANKSHAFT PULSE WHEEL FOR OBVIOUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE 
    • Visually check the timing cover, CKP sensor, and crankshaft pulse wheel (outside the timing cover) for obvious physical damage.

    Do any parts appear physically damaged? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR or INSTALL a new component as necessary. GO to  JD3.
  3. JD3 CHECK FOR PROPER CKP BIAS VOLTAGES IN THE PCM 
    • CKP Sensor connector disconnected.
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      ( + ) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side ( - ) Vehicle Battery
      CKP+ - Pin 1 Negative terminal
      CKP- - Pin 2 Negative terminal

    Are the voltages between 1 V - 3 V? 

    Yes No
    Key in OFF position.
    GO to  JD4.
    Key in OFF position.
    GO to  JD6.
  4. JD4 CHECK THE CKP SENSOR RESISTANCE 
    NOTE: The CKP sensor resistance values change significantly with temperature rise.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) CKP Sensor Connector, Component Side ( - ) CKP Sensor Connector, Component Side
      CKP+ - Pin 1 CKP- - Pin 2

    Is the resistance between 250 ohms - 1K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  JD5. INSTALL a new CKP sensor.
  5. JD5 CHECK THE CKP HARNESS SHIELD GROUND 
    NOTE: The harness shield protects the CKP signal from electrical noise and is grounded at one end, typically near the PCM.
    NOTE: Carry out the following resistance measurement between the CKP shield and the chassis ground.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) CKP_SHLD Assembly Connector, Harness Side ( - )
      CKP_SHLD Ground

    Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  JD6. REPAIR the open circuit.
    CHECK for a poor ground connection.
  6. JD6 CHECK FOR A SHORT BETWEEN THE CKP(+) AND CKP(-) IN THE HARNESS 
    • PCM connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side ( - ) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side
      CKP+ - Pin 1 CKP- - Pin 2

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  JD7. REPAIR the short circuit.
  7. JD7 CHECK THE CKP CIRCUIT(S) FOR AN OPEN IN THE HARNESS 
    • PCM connector disconnected.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side ( - ) PCM Connector, Harness Side
      CKP- - Pin 2 CKP- - Pin E45
      CKP+ - Pin 1 CKP+ - Pin E34

    Are the resistances less than 5 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  JD8. REPAIR the open circuit.
  8. JD8 CHECK THE CKP CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO POWER IN THE HARNESS 
    • Key in ON position.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      ( + ) PCM Connector, Harness Side ( - ) Vehicle Battery
      CKP+ - Pin E34 Negative terminal
      CKP- - Pin E45 Negative terminal

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes No
    Key in OFF position. REPAIR the short circuit to PWR. Key in OFF position.
    GO to  JD9.
  9. JD9 CHECK THE CKP CIRCUIT(S) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND IN THE HARNESS 
    • Measure the resistance between:
      ( + ) CKP Sensor Connector, Harness Side ( - ) Vehicle Battery
      CKP+ - Pin 1 Negative terminal
      0CKP- - Pin 2 Negative terminal

    Are the resistances less than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR the short circuit. INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) .
