CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T]


id0140h0800500


Visual Inspection

Caution
•  When replacing the CKP sensor, make sure there is no foreign matter on it such as metal shavings. If it is installed with foreign matter, the sensor output signal will malfunction resulting from fluctuation in magnetic flux and cause a deterioration in engine control.

1.  Turn the steering wheel to full right lock.

2.  Disconnect the negative battery terminal. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION.)

3.  Lift up the vehicle.

4.  Remove the front splash shield (RH). (See FRONT SPLASH SHIELD REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

5.  Remove the service hole cover (installed to front under cover No.2). (See OIL FILTER REPLACEMENT [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)

6.  Disconnect the CKP sensor connector.

7.  Remove the CKP sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)

8.  Verify that there are no metal shavings on the sensor.

•  If there is a malfunction, remove any metal shavings that are adhering.


Voltage Inspection

Caution
•  When replacing the CKP sensor, make sure there is no foreign matter on it such as metal shavings. If it is installed with foreign matter, the sensor output signal will malfunction resulting from fluctuation in magnetic flux and cause a deterioration in engine control.
•  If the wiring harnesses or waterproof connectors are damaged, water penetrating the connector will cause a sensor malfunction. To prevent this, be careful not to damage wiring harnesses or waterproof connectors.

1.  Idle the engine.

2.  Measure the CKP sensor output voltage wave pattern using an oscilloscope.

•  If not as specified, replace the CKP sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T].)
