Grand Vitara 4WD V6-3.2L (2010)
Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
CKP (Crankshaft Position) Sensor Inspection
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Inspection
1. Remove CKP sensor.
2. Check the following.
-
Check that O-ring (1) is free from damage.
-
Check that end face of sensor and signal plate tooth are free from any metal particles and damage.
3. Check CKP sensor as follows.
If faulty condition is found, replace CKP sensor.
a. Connect three new 1.5 V batteries in series and check that total voltage is 4.5 - 5.0 V.
b. Connect batteries (1) and ohmmeter (3) to CKP sensor as shown in figure.
c. Check that CKP sensor resistance varies as specified below by passing magnetic substance (iron) (2).
NOTE: Be sure to keep approximately 1 mm (0.03 in) gap "a" between magnetic substance (iron) and respect to end face of CKP sensor.
CKP sensor resistance
Resistance varies between less than 20 ohms and infinity
