Operation

The CKP sensor, located on the engine front cover near the crankshaft pulley, is used to determine crankshaft position and crankshaft rpm. The sensor is a magnetic reluctance type which senses the passing of teeth on a tone wheel because the teeth disrupt the magnetic field of the sensor. This disruption creates a voltage fluctuation, which is monitored by the PCM.

Testing

1. Measure the voltage between the sensor CKP sensor terminals by backprobing the sensor connector.
2. If the connector cannot be backprobed, fabricate or purchase a test harness. Sensor voltage should be more than 0.1 volt DC with the engine running and should vary with engine RPM.
3. If voltage is not within specification, the sensor may be faulty.

This will help.

Thanks.
