Removing
1. We prepare the car for operations (see "Vehicle preparation for maintenance and repair").
2. Having released the latch, disconnect the block of wires from the crankshaft position sensor.
4. Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the sensor mounting screw.
5. We take out the sensor from the hole in the bracket of the camshaft drive cover.
Examination
1. Connect a multimeter to the sensor terminals (in voltmeter mode).
2. We vigorously carry the screwdriver blade near the end of the sensor. At the moment the screwdriver blade is opposite the sensitive element of a working sensor, we observe a voltage jump on the voltmeter.
If power surges are absent or small, replace the sensor.
Installation
The sensor is installed in the reverse order.
