Air Gap Inspection

  1. Verify that the CKP sensor is securely installed.
  2. Using a thickness gauge, measure the air gap between the plate projections at the back of crankshaft pulley and the CKP sensor.
    • If not within the specification, inspect the plate projections for cracks or bending.
      • If there is any malfunction, replace the Crankshaft pulley.
