CAUTION. Do not disconnect the battery leads or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on or while the engine is running

Do not disconnect the battery leads or any other electrical connections when the ignition switch is on or while the engine is running. This is to pre­vent IC igniter damage. Do not install the battery backwards. The negative side is grounded. This is to prevent damage to the diodes and IC igniter

Crankshaft Sensor Removal • Remove:

Alternator Cover (see Alternator Rotor/Starter Clutch

Removal)

Mounting Screws [A]

Crankshaft Sensor [B]

Crankshaft Sensor Installation

• Tighten the crankshaft sensor screws.

Torque - Crankshaft Sensor Screws: 8.3 N·m (0.85 kgf·m, 74 in·lb)

• Install the crankshaft sensor lead on the alternator cover
(see Stator Coil Installation).

Crankshaft Sensor Inspection

• Disconnect the crankshaft sensor connector [A].

• Set the hand tester to the × 100 Q range and connect it to the crankshaft sensor leads.

• If there is more resistance than the specified value, the coil has an open lead and must be replaced. Much less than this resistance means the coil is shorted, and must be replaced.

Crankshaft Sensor Resistance 113 ~139 П

• Using the highest resistance range of the tester, measure
the resistance between the crankshaft sensor leads and
chassis ground.

•Any tester reading less than infinity (°°) indicates a short, necessitating replacement of the crankshaft sensor as­sembly.
