DIAGNOSTIC CHARTDIAGNOSTIC CHART
Inspect sensor installation. Check if any teeth of NE
signal plate are broken
Check valve timing (Check for loose and jumping teeth
of timing belt (See page EM±51)). Tighten the sensor.
Replace signal plate.
Adjust valve timing
(Repair or replace timing belt).
HINT: Perform troubleshooting of diag. code 12 first. If no trouble is found, trouble\
shoot the following mechanical systems.
Check for momentary interruption
