CRANKSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The crankshaft position sensor is mounted in the
right rear of the engine block below the turbocharger
(Fig. 7). This sensor is used to detect engine speed.
OPERATION
The crankshaft position sensor is a magnetic
pickup type sensor that generates an ac signal. The
sensor contains a permanent magent and a coil of
wire. The sensor generates an ac signal each time a
notch in the reluctor wheel on the crankshaft passesacross the permanent magnet. The ECM calculates
engine speed based on the frequency of the ac signal.
The ECM supplies the sensor ground.
MASS AIR FLOW (MAF)
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor is mounted
inline in the air intake between the air filter and the
turbocharger (Fig. 8).

NOTE: Power steering pump maximum relief pres-
sure is 9,653 to 10,342 kPa (1,400 to 1,500 psi.).
(9) Close analyzer valve fully three times and
record highest pressure indicated each time. All three
readings must be above specifications and within 345
kPa (50 psi) of each other.
²If power steering pump pressures are above
specifications, but not within 345 kPa (50 psi) of each
other, replace pump.
²If power steering pump pressures are within 345
kPa (50 psi) of each other, but are below specifica-
tions, replace pump.
CAUTION: Do not force the pump to operate against
the stops for more than 2 to 4 seconds at a time
because, pump damage will result.
(10) Completely open the valve on the Power
Steering Analyzer. Turn the steering wheel to theextreme left until the stop in the steering gear is
met, then turn the steering wheel to the right until
the right stop is met. Record the highest indicated
pressure at each position. Compare the recorded
readings to the specifications. If the highest output
pressures are not the same against either stop, the
steering gear is leaking internally and must be
replaced.
