Crankshaft Position Sensor Resistance
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Mazda Protege, 2000 Mazda Millenia, 2000 Mazda MX-5 Miata, 2000 Mazda MPV, and 2000 Mazda 626. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Disconnect crankshaft position sensor connector. Using ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals "A" and "B". See Fig 1 . Resistance should be as specified. See CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE table. If resistance is not as specified, replace crankshaft position sensor.
