Crankshaft Sensor Output Signal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Cadillac Seville, 1996 Cadillac Eldorado, and 1996 Cadillac DeVille. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Set DVOM on 2-volt AC scale. Connect voltmeter leads to crankshaft sensor installed in side of engine block. Crank engine and observe voltmeter reading. Crank angle sensor should generate a voltage signal of about .05 volt at slow cranking speed to greater than .1 volt at high cranking speed. With engine running, voltage signal will be much greater.
