NOTE:
Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the procedure as indicated in the troubleshooting flowchart. (See HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL.)
1. Verify that the CKP sensor is securely installed.
2. Using a thickness gauge, measure the air gap between the plate projections at the back of crankshaft pulley and the CKP sensor.
If not within the specification, inspect the plate projections for cracks or bending.
If there is any malfunction, replace the crankshaft pulley. (See ENGINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)
If the monitor item condition/specification (reference) is not within the specification, even though there is no malfunction, carry out the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.
Air gap
0.5—1.5 mm {0.02—0.05 in}
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)
3. Remove the CKP sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)
4. Verify that there are no metal shavings on the sensor.
If the monitor item condition/specification (reference) is without the specification even though there is no malfunction, carry out the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.
1. Install all removed parts.
2. Idle the engine.CAUTION:
Water penetrating the connector will cause sensor malfunction. To prevent this, be careful not to damage the wiring harnesses or the waterproof connector so as to cause water penetration.
3. Measure the output voltage using an oscilloscope.
Voltage
If not within the specification, replace the CKP sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)
If the monitor item condition/specification (reference) is without the specification, even though the voltage is within the specification, carry out the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.

1. Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [LF].)
2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for an open or short circuit. (Continuity Inspection)
If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
CKP sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2AB
CKP sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 2W
CKP sensor terminal C and PCM terminal 2AQ
If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
CKP sensor terminal A and power supply
CKP sensor terminal B and power supply
CKP sensor terminal B and body ground
CKP sensor terminal C and body ground
