3. Tap on the engine block with a non-metallic object near the affected KS and observe the DMM for a fluctuating frequency.
锟斤拷If the DMM does not display a fluctuating frequency while tapping on the engine block then replace the affected KS.
4. Verify the affected KS is properly tightened, refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications (See: Engine, Cooling and
Exhaust/Engine/Specifications/Fastener Tightening Specifications).
5. Ignition OFF, with appropriate length jumper wires, connect the KS1 harness to the KS2 sensor and the KS2 harness to the KS1 sensor.
6. Monitor the DTCs using a scan tool. Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. Verify the fault does not follow the
sensor in question.
锟斤拷If the fault follows the sensor in question, replace the appropriate KS.
7. Ignition OFF, remove the jumper wires from the previous step.
8. Measure for 2-3 volts between each of the following circuits and ground on the ECM side of the harness connector:
* The KS signal circuit, terminal A
* The KS signal circuit, terminal B
锟斤拷If less than the specified range, test the circuits for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the
ECM.
锟斤拷If greater than the specified range, test the circuits for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
9. Test for intermittent or poor connections at the ECM, KS, and in-line connectors where present.
10. If all circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
