Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
Crankshaft Position Sensor
System Schematic
To test the Crank Angle Sensor located in the distributor, proceed as follows
OSCILLOSCOPE TESTING PROCEDURE:
1.
Connect test leads from the oscilloscope to the #1 terminal of the sensor connector and run the engine at idle speed.
Scope Pattern
Check the waveform and compare it to the diagram shown.
If scope pattern is not as depicted in image, continue with the rest of the test procedures before replacing the assembly.
VOLTAGE TESTING PROCEDURE:
1.
Connect a voltmeter between terminal 1 and 2 of the crank angle sensor connector.
Terminal 1: Crank angle signal
Terminal 2: Sensor ground
2.
Measure the output voltage of the terminals while cranking the engine.
Standard Approximate Values
Terminal 1:
1.8 - 2.5v (needle fluctuates)
