Title: Crankshaft sensor info and how to test
Post by: Goonybird on 02 May 2010, 11:56:48

Posted elsewhere re: starting problems on an X25XE. It appears Crank sensor is worth looking at as advised.
These should answer various queries I have seen posted on here recently.
I have trawled internet and come up with these snippets:

This is how to test a sensor:

Also from another forum, the crank sensor itself is earthed through where it connects to the block. So worth removing sensor and cleaning faces of sensor and block to ensure a good connection.

Hope it doesn't contravene Forum regs posting links to other forums.  :-/

Crank sensors do give abit of bother,
Ensure ignition is switched off
Disconnect CKP sensor multi plug
Check resistance between terminals 1 and 2 with an ohm meter... should be between 500 - 800
