Crankshaft Position Sensor

A sealed, non-serviceable assembly. If Fault Code
diagnosis indicates a problem within this area, test and
correct as follows.
1. Remove #2 side cylinder shroud to access. Check
mounting and air gap of sensor. It must be 0.20-0.70
mm (0.008-0.027 in.).
2. Inspect wiring and connections for damage or
problems.
3. Make sure engine has resistor type spark plugs.
4. Disconnect Black connector from ECU.
5. Connect an ohmmeter between #4 and #13 pin
terminals. A resistance value of 325-395 Ω at room
temperature (20°C, 68°F) should be obtained. If
resistance is correct, check mounting, air gap,
fl ywheel teeth (damage, run-out, etc.), and fl ywheel
key.
6. Disconnect crankshaft position sensor connector
from wiring harness. Test resistance between
terminals. A reading of 325-395 Ω should again be
obtained.
a. If resistance is incorrect, remove screws securing
sensor to mounting bracket and replace sensor.
b. If resistance in step 5 was incorrect, but
resistance of sensor alone was correct, test wire
harness circuits between sensor connector
terminals and corresponding pin terminals (#4
and #13) in main connector. Correct any
observed problem, reconnect sensor, and
perform step 5 again.
7. When fault is corrected and engine starts, clear fault
codes following ECU Reset procedure.

TPS is a sealed, non-serviceable assembly. If diagnosis
indicates a bad sensor, complete replacement is
necessary. If a blink code indicates a problem with TPS,
it can be tested as follows:
1. Counting number of turns, back out idle speed
adjusting screw (counterclockwise) until throttle
plates can be closed completely. Write this number
down for reference later.
2. Disconnect Black connector from ECU, but leave
TPS mounted to throttle body.
3. a. Use an ohmmeter and connect red (positive)
ohmmeter lead to Black pin 12 terminal and black
(negative) ohmmeter lead to Black pin 10 terminal
to test.

b. Hold throttle closed and check resistance. It
should be 1400-1800 Ω.
4. Leave leads connected to pin terminals as described
in step 3. Rotate throttle shaft slowly to full throttle
position. Monitor dial during rotation for indication of
any momentary short or open circuits. Note
resistance at full throttle position. It should be
4600-5200 Ω without a stop pin, or 3200-4100 Ω
with a stop pin.
5. Disconnect main wiring harness connector from
TPS, leaving TPS assembled to throttle body. Refer
to Resistance Table and perform resistance checks
indicated between terminals in TPS switch, with
throttle in positions specifi ed.
If resistance values in steps 3, 4, and 5 are within
specifi cations, go to step 6.
If resistance values are not within specifi cations, or a
momentary short or open circuit was detected during
rotation (step 4), TPS needs to be replaced, go to
step 7.
6. Check TPS circuits (input, ground) between TPS
plug and main harness connector for continuity,
damage, etc. Input pin is 12 and ground is pin 10.
a. Repair or replace as required.
b. Turn idle speed screw back in to its original
setting.
c. Reconnect connector plugs, start engine and
retest system operation.
7. #1 side fuel injector electrical connector may be
removed to access fastening screws. Remove two
mounting screws from TPS. Save screws for reuse.
Remove and discard faulty TPS. Install replacement
TPS and secure with original mounting screws.
a. Reconnect Black and TPS connector plugs.
Reconnect electrical connector to #1 side fuel
injector.
b. Perform TPS Learn Procedure integrating new
sensor to ECU.

Engine (Oil) Temperature Sensor

A sealed, non-serviceable assembly. A faulty sensor
must be replaced. If a blink code indicates a problem
with temperature sensor, it can be tested as follows:
1. Remove temperature sensor from crankcase and
cap or block sensor hole.
2. Wipe sensor clean and allow it to reach room
temperature (25°C, 77°F).
3. Unplug Black connector from ECU.
4. With sensor still connected, check temperature
sensor circuit resistance between Black pin 10 and
14 terminals. Value should be 9000-11000 Ω.
5. Unplug sensor from wire harness and check sensor
resistance separately across two pins. Resistance
value should again be 9000-11000 Ω.
a. If resistance is out of specifi cations, replace
temperature sensor.
b. If it is within specifi cations, proceed to Step 6.
