Crankshaft Sensor Peak Voltage Inspection

~1min read

NOTE

  • Be sure the battery is fully charged.
  • Using the peak voltage adapter [A] is more reliable way to determine the condition of the crankshaft sensor than crankshaft sensor internal resistance measurements.
Crankshaft Sensor Peak Voltage Inspection

  • Disconnect the crankshaft sensor lead connector (see Crankshaft Sensor Removal).
  • Set the hand tester [B] to the DC 10 V range, and connect it peak voltage adapter.

  • Connect the adapter to the terminals of the crankshaft sensor lead connector [C].

  • Turn the engine stop switch to run position.
  • Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  • Pushing the starter button, turn the engine 4 ∼ 5 seconds with the transmission in neutral to measure the peak voltage.
  • Repeat the measurements 5 times or more times.

Crankshaft Sensor Peak Voltage Standard: 1.9 V or more

If the reading is less than the standard, inspect the crankshaft sensor (see Crankshaft Sensor Inspection).
