Cranks shaft position sensor wiring schematic/ohm readings

[Anker]

JoJo,

I don't believe it is that simple. If it is a hall effect sensor (which I suspect) you can't do meaningful static readings. If I get a chance I will look up in the repair manual for diagnostic tests. I have a nagging suspicion the best test is to replace it and see if the problem goes away.

Remove the CPS sensor connector, connect your multimeter to pin #1 and pin#2, at 68F it should read 0.8-1.0K ohms; then connect the multimeter to pin #1 and pin #3 and it should read infinite ohms; if it does not read correctly in either range, can the sensor and replace it.
