Crankshaft Position Sensor: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
OPERATION
-
The crankshaft position sensor senses the crank angle (piston position) of each cylinder; converts it into a pulse signal and inputs it to the engine
control module, which then controls the engine speed and controls the fuel injection timing and ignition timing based on the input signal.
-
Power to the crankshaft position sensor is supplied from the MFI relay and is grounded to the body. The crankshaft position sensor generates a
pulse signal as it repeatedly connects and disconnects between 5 V voltage supplied from the engine control module and ground.
