Note:
The engine speed (RPM) sensor detects RPM
and reference marks. The engine cannot be
started without a signal from the engine speed
(RPM) sensor -G28-. If the engine speed (RPM)
sensor -G28- signal fails while the engine is
running, the engine will stop immediately.

Test sequence

- Before performing test, check sensor for proper
installation and proper fitting.

Note:
Coolant reservoir screws must be removed and coolant reservoir must be
placed to side in order to access the harness connector. The coolant
hoses can remain connected. - Disconnect harness connector for engine speed (RPM) sensor -G28-
(item no. 3) in engine compartment.

Note:
Resistance value of the engine speed (RPM) sensor is based on a
temperature of 20 C. Resistance increases as temperature increases.
If specified value is not obtained:
If specified value is obtained: - Connect multimeter between terminal 1 and 2 for resistance
measurement.

Specification: 730 to 1000
- Replace engine speed (RPM) sensor.

If specified value is not obtained: - Connect multimeter to terminals 1 and 3 (shielding) and to terminals 2
and 3 (shielding) for resistance measurement.

Specification: each (no continuity)
- Replace engine speed (RPM) sensor.
