ENGINE ELECTRICAL

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (CPS)

OPERATION OVERVIEW CPS TEST
Mounted on top of the stator cover, the crankshaft The CPS is a sealed, non-serviceable assembly. If fault
position sensor q is essential to engine operation, code diagnosis indicates a problem with this sensor, test
constantly monitoring the rotational speed (RPM) and as follows:
position of the crankshaft. 1. Locate the CPS harness connector above the
transmission on the RH side of the vehicle and
disconnect the harness.
2. Pin q is for the shield circuit and it should be OL to
pins w & e. A resistance reading would indicate a
shorted sensor.

A ferromagnetic 35-tooth encoder ring with a missing
tooth is built onto the flywheel. The inductive speed
sensor is mounted 1.0 ± 0.26 mm (0.059 ± 0.010 in.)
away from the encoder ring. During rotation, an AC pulse
is created within the sensor for each passing tooth. The
ECU calculates engine speed from the time interval 3. Connect an ohmmeter between CPS pin terminals w
between the consecutive pulses. & e. A resistance value of 1000Ω ± 10% at room
temperature should be obtained.
The encoder ring missing tooth creates an “interrupt”
input signal, corresponding to specific crankshaft CPS Resistance Specification:

CPS and crankshaft position takes place during the first 4. If the resistance is correct:

• Check the sensor mounting, air gap, flywheel encoder
ring for damage or runout, and flywheel key. Follow the
CPS Replacement procedure to inspect CPS and
flywheel encoder ring for damage.

5. If the resistance is incorrect, follow the CPS
