Crankshaft Position Sensor Resistance: Turbo

Remove air tube for charge air cooler located near front of crankshaft, for access to crankshaft position sensor electrical connector. Disconnect crankshaft position sensor electrical connector. See Fig 2. Crankshaft position sensor 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 of engine.
Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on crankshaft position sensor electrical connector. Ensure crankshaft position sensor resistance is within specification. See CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE table. Replace crankshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. See REMOVE/INSTALL/OVERHAUL article. Reinstall electrical connector and air tube.
