Testing crankshaft sensors

A quick and easy way to check inductive pulse magnetic crank position sensors.

Excellent video.. done properly and straight to the point none of this beating around the bush for a quick fix!

Great!!!
To the point, instead of first showing off your workshop and equipment, straighting your hair etc...
Just done!
Hats off to you❤

Spot on, finally a quick and easy bench test. To the point and also very helpful. Thanks Chuck !!!!

Thanks for this quick and simple test /demonstration . Just checked Ford Falcon Barra 6cyl 4 liter showing on the 2k mark a total of 349, yes we have found the problem. Cheers Ian

Simple and effective way to test camshaft sensor. already applied it with crankshaft sensor and it also works. Thanks.

Great to the point video. Got mine fixed! Thanks!

[DanielOrfield]

Your presentation was a great help. Thanks a bunch!

[dannykapito]

Thanks for the video.. your way is better than the other peoples way which are so hard, so long and so complicated

Thank you!! All the videos I seen about testing the sensor didn’t have detail about how much ohms it should have.

This guy Knows his stuff. Thank YOU For a Great Vid.

Hey good stuff, doing this on my step sons 1992 Volvo, gotta keep the beast alive!

What about for a 3 prong sensor my friend? Where would you touch your multimeter prongs to?

[mikeadelphia]

Would this work on my 2016 jeep Cherokee? It’s a 3 prong 3 wire sensor I got it out the vehicle but don’t know if I can test this way because it’s 3 prong

You look like Connar Mc Gregor. Thank for the video

I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you and let you know that you are absolutely amazing. Keep it up and thank you so much 👍

Have a po302 doing all the troubleshooting. All swaps done didn't follow. Compression and leakdown all good. Gonna test crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor

Best to the point video on the web! Does it matter which side you apply the positive and negative test leads? In other words if I cross them incorrectly, can I damage my sensor?

[Rockelement]

Stupid question: Is there a - and + pin on the connecter and is it important to place the wires from the multimeter on the correct ones?

[tripzuki]

Hello; does this method work the same for a 3 wire hall effect type sensor? If I remove my CPS from my vehicle and bench test it with my ohm meter at 2k, should I get a reading? Or does it need to have battery power? 1996 Chevy C1500 5.7L V8.

I'm getting ~500 on 2000k but nothing on lower ones. Is the sensor bad?
