OPERATIONl
The crank angle sensor senses the crank angle (piston position) of each cylinder, converts it into a pulse
signal and inputs it to the engine control unit, which then computes the engine speed and controls the fuelinjection timing and ignition timing based on the input signal.
lPower to the crank angle sensor is supplied from the control relay and is grounded to the body. The crank
angle sensor generates a pulse signal as it repeatedly connects and disconnects between 5 V voltagesupplied from the engine control unit and ground.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: If unexpected shocks are felt during driving or the engine stalls suddenly during idling, shake the
crank angle sensor harness. If this causes the engine to stall, poor contact of the sensor connector is
suspected.Hint 2: If the crank angle sensor outputs a pulse signal when the ignition switch is turned ON (with the
engine not running), a faulty crank angle sensor or engine control unit is suspected.
Hint 3:
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, faulty crank angleHint 4:sensor or broken timing belt is suspected.
If the tachometer reads 0 rpm when the engine that has failed to start is cranked, the primary current
of the ignition coil is not turned on and off. Therefore, troubles in the ignition circuit and ignition coil orfaulty power transistor is suspected.
Hint 5: If the engine can be run at idle even though the crank angle sensor reading is out of specification,troubles are often in other than the crank angle sensor.
[Examples](1) Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor
(2) Faulty idle speed control servo
(3) Poorly adjusted reference idle speed

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: Poor cleaning of exhaust gas will result if the oxygen sensor fails.
Hint 2:If the oxygen sensor check has resulted normal but the sensor output voltage is out of specification,
troubles of parts related to air fuel ratio control system are suspected.
[Examples]
(1) Faulty injector
(2) Air leaking into the intake manifold through gasket gap, etc.

(1) Disconnect the oxygen sensor connector.
(2) Check that there is continuity [approx. 20
IR at 20°C (68”F)jacross terminals @and
@of the oxygen sensor connector.
(3) If there is no continuity, replace the oxygen sensor.
(4) Warm up the engine until the engine coolant temperature
becomes 80°C (176°F) or higher.
(5) Using jumper wires, connect terminals @ and @ of the
oxygen sensor connector to battery
0 and 0 terminals
respectively.
Caution
Ensure that the jumper wires are connected correctly,
as wrong connections result in a broken oxygen sensor.(6) Connect a digital voltmeter across terminals @ and

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTSHint 1: If the engine is hard to start when hot, check fuel pressure and check the injector for leaks.
Hint 2:If the injector does not when the engine that is hard to start is cranked, the following as well as the
Iinjector itself may be responsible.
(1) Faulty power supply circuit to the engine control unit, faulty ground circuit
\-J
-(2) Faulty control relay
Hint 3:(3) Faulty crank angle sensor, top dead center sensor
If there is any cylinder whose idle state remains unchanged when the fuel injection of injectors is cut
one after another during idling, make following checks about such cylinder.
(1) Injector and harness check
(2) Ignition plug and high tension cable check
(3) Compression pressure check
Hint 4: If the injector harness and individual part checks have resulted normal but the injector drive time is
out of specification, the following troubles are suspected.
(1)Poor combustion in the cylinder (faulty ignition plug, ignition coil, compression pressure, etc.)
(2) Loose EGR valve seating
(3) High engine resistance
