- Set DVOM on 2000-ohm scale position. Connect DVOM leads to crank angle sensor connector, located on side of engine block. Turn ignition off. Disconnect ignition module connectors. Measure resistance between crankshaft sensor terminals at ignition module connector.
- Crankshaft sensor resistance should be within specification range listed in CRANKSHAFT SENSOR RESISTANCE table. If resistance is not as specified, replace sensor. If sensor is within specification, go to next step.
- With sensor installed in block, connect one ohmmeter lead to either sensor terminal at ignition module. Touch other lead of ohmmeter to engine block. No continuity should exist. If continuity exists, sensor or harness is shorted to ground and must be repaired or replaced.
