Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- With the key ON and the CKP sensor disconnected, measure the voltage between the 5-volt reference and a good ground and observe that the DMM measures 4.98-5.02 volts.
- If the DMM does not measure 4.98-5.02 volts, test the 5-volt reference for an open, high resistance, or a faulty ECM.
- With the key ON and the CKP sensor disconnected, measure the voltage between the 5-volt reference circuit and the low reference circuit, and observe that the DMM measures 4.98-5.02 volts.
- If the DMM does not measure 4.98-5.02 volts, test the low reference for an open, high resistance, or a faulty ECM.
- With the key ON and the CKP sensor disconnected, connect a fused jumper wire to the signal circuit and momentarily and repeatedly probe the low reference circuit, and observe that the Crank Signal Present and engine RPM parameters change.
- If the crank signal parameter and engine RPM does not change, test the signal circuit for an open, high resistance, a short to ground, a short to voltage, or a faulty ECM.
- Ensure that the CKP sensor circuits are not routed too closely to the fuel injector wiring, after-market add-on electrical equipment, solenoids, relays, or motors.
- Inspect the CKP sensor for physical damage, loose or improper installation, excessive air gap, or foreign material passing between the sensor and the reluctor wheel.
- Inspect the CKP reluctor wheel for physical damage, improper installation, or excessive endplay or looseness.
- If no other condition is found, replace the CKP sensor.
