    • Harness for open or short between crankshaft position sensor (POS) and ground
      1. Repair open circuit or short to power in harness or connectors.
  6. CHECK CKP SENSOR (POS) INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    2. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 13 and CKP sensor (POS) terminal 2.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      1. Continuity should exist. 
    3. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  8.
    2. NG: GO TO 7.
  7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART 

    Check the following.

    • Harness connectors E33, F33
    • Harness for open or short between crankshaft position sensor (POS) and ECM
      1. Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  8. CHECK CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (POS) 

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 9.
    2. NG: Replace crankshaft position sensor (POS).
  9. CHECK GEAR TOOTH 

    Visually check for chipping signal plate gear tooth.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 10.
    2. NG: Replace the signal plate.
