Inspection Procedure

HINT:

  1. Check resistance of crankshaft position sensor (See  IGNITION  ). 

    Reference: INSPECTION USING OSCILLOSCOPE 

    During cranking or idling, check the waveforms between terminals NE+ and NE- of the ECM connector.

    HINT:

    • The correct waveforms are as shown.
    • The waveform frequency is shortened as the engine speed becomes higher.
