Crankshaft Position Sensor

Remove air tube for charge air cooler, located near front of crankshaft, to access electrical connector for crankshaft position sensor. Disconnect electrical connector for crankshaft position sensor. See Fig 1. Electrical connector is located on passenger's side front corner of engine.
Crankshaft position sensor is located near crankshaft pulley, just above oil pan on passenger's side. Using ohmmeter, check resistance between terminals on electrical connector for crankshaft position sensor.
Replace crankshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. See CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE table. Reinstall electrical connector and air tube.
