1. Connector; 2. Sensor
Examination
4-cylinder engines
1. Disconnect the sensor wiring connector near the generator and check the resistance of the sensor (the arrow indicates the location of the sensor).
2. Along with the sensor, the computer module should also be checked, for which the module must be removed and taken to a car service center.
6-cylinder engines
1. Due to difficult access to the connector, it is recommended to remove the sensor (the arrow indicates the location of the sensor). Check the resistance on the removed sensor.
2. After warming up the engine, or by removing the sensor and placing it in boiling water, check the sensor resistance at 80°C, which should be 250–300 Ohm.
Replacement
1. Disconnect the battery from ground.
2. On 4-cylinder engines, remove the belt cover (see fig. Mounting location of the crankshaft speed sensor on 4-cylinder engines).
3. On 6-cylinder engines, remove the wheel arch cover to access the sensor (see fig. Mounting location of the crankshaft speed sensor on 6-cylinder engines). Disconnect the connector, unscrew the bolt and remove the sensor.
