Crankshaft speed and Position (CKP) sensor
The CKP is located in the transmission housing with its tip adjacent to the outer circumference of the flywheel. The
CKP sensor works on the variable reluctance principle, which sends a signal back to the ECM in the form of an ac
voltage.
The ECM uses the signal from the CKP for the following functions:
lTo calculate engine speed.
lTo determine engine crank position.
lTo determine fuel injection timing.
The CKP sensor works as a Variable Reluctance Sensor (VRS). It uses an electromagnet and a target ring to generate
a signal. As the target ring passes the tip of the CKP sensor the magnetic field produced by the sensor is cut and then
re-instated. The ECM measures the signal as an ac voltage.
The outer circumference of the flywheel acts as the target ring for the sensor. The flywheel is divided into 36 segments
each of 10
°. 31 segments have drilled holes and 5 segments are spaces. This equals 360° or one engine revolution.
The 5 spaces correspond to the TDC position of the 5 cylinders, this allows the ECM to control fuel injection timing
for each of the cylinders.
Input/Output
The two pins on the sensor are both outputs. The ECM processes the outputs of the sensor. To protect the integrity
of the CKP signal an earth shield or screen is used.
The ECM measures the outputs from the CKP. The ECM measures the positive signal from the CKP at pin 13 of ECM
connector C0158. The ECM measures the negative signal from the CKP at pin 36 of ECM connector C0158. The earth
path is via pin 16 of ECM connector C0158.
Voltage generation from the CKP sensor is relative to engine speed. The values expected from a good CKP sensor
are as follows:
l2 to 3 volts with engine cranking.
lRising to 6 to 6.5 volts from 1000 rev/min upwards.
The above readings are dependent upon correct air gap between the tip of the CKP sensor and the passing teeth of
the reluctor ring.

Crankshaft speed and Position (CKP) sensor (C0168)
The CKP sensor is located towards the rear of the engine below cylinder number 7, with its tip adjacent to the outer
circumference of the flywheel. The CKP sensor is the most important sensor on the vehicle and without its signal the
engine will not run. The signal produced by the CKP sensor allows the ECM to determine crankshaft angle and speed
of rotation. The ECM uses this information to calculate ignition timing and fuel injection timing.
The CKP sensor works as a variable reluctance sensor. It uses an electromagnet and a reluctor ring to generate a
signal. As the reluctor ring passes the tip of the CKP sensor the magnetic field produced by the sensor is cut and then
re-instated. The ECM measures the signal as an ac voltage.
The output voltage varies in proportion to engine speed. The reluctor ring has a set tooth pattern, 60 teeth are spaced
at 6
° intervals and are 3° wide, two teeth are removed to provide a reference mark at 60° BTDC for number 1 cylinder.
There is no back up strategy or limp home facility if this sensor fails, the engine does not run.

18-2-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
In the event of a CKP sensor signal failure any of the following symptoms may be observed:
lEngine cranks but fails to start.
lMIL remains on at all times.
lEngine misfires (CKP sensor incorrectly fitted).
lEngine runs roughly or even stalls (CKP sensor incorrectly fitted).
lTachometer fails to work.
lFlywheel adaption reset – ferrous contamination
If the CKP sensor fails while the engine is running the engine will suddenly stall, this is because the CKP sensor has
no backup strategy. If this happens the ECM will produce a fault code that it can store in its memory. If the engine is
not running when the CKP sensor fails, the vehicle will crank but will be unlikely to start, and no fault code will be
generated. In this instance the MIL lamp will remain illuminated and the tachometer will fail to read.
It is vital that the CKP sensor output wires are not reversed (i.e. the connector is fitted incorrectly) as this will cause
a 3
° advance in ignition timing. This happens because the ECM uses the falling edge of the signal waveform as its
reference or timing point for each passing tooth on the reluctor.
Whenever a new crankshaft position sensor is fitted or the flywheel is removed, the adaptive values will have to be
reset, using TestBook.
Should a malfunction of the component occur, the following fault codes may be evident and can be retrieved by
TestBook:
Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor (C0176)
The CMP sensor is located on the front of the engine, above and behind the crankshaft pulley. The CMP sensor is a
Hall effect sensor producing four pulses for every two crankshaft revolutions. The sensor is positioned close to the
camshaft gear wheel, the gear wheel has four slots machined at 90
° intervals. This allows the ECM to recognise 4
individual cylinders every camshaft revolution or all 8 cylinders every crankshaft revolution.
The CMP sensor Hall effect works as a magnetic switch. It switches battery voltage on or off depending on the position
of the camshaft gear wheel in relationship to the sensor.
The ECM uses this signal for cylinder recognition to control sequential fuel injection, engine knock and diagnostic
purposes.

Misfire detection
Due to increasing legislation, all new vehicles must be able to detect two specific levels of misfire.
Conditions
The ECM is able to carry out misfire detection as part of the OBD system using the following component parts:
lFlywheel reluctor adaptation.
lCalculation of engine roughness.
lDetection of excess emissions misfire.
lDetection of catalyst damaging misfire.
Function
The flywheel/ reluctor ring is divided into four segments 90
° wide. The ECM misfire detection system uses information
generated by the CKP to determine crankshaft speed and position. If a misfire occurs, there will be an instantaneous
slight decrease in engine speed. The ECM misfire detection system is able to compare the length of time each 90
°
segment takes and is therefore able to pinpoint the source of the misfire.
For the ECM misfire detection system to be calibrated for the tolerances of the reluctor tooth positions, the flywheel/
reluctor ring must be 'adapted' as follows:
l1800 - 3000 rev/min = speed range 1.
l3000 - 3800 rev/min = speed range 2.
l3800 - 4600 rev/min = speed range 3.
l4600 - 5400 rev/min = speed range 4.
The ECM carries out flywheel/ reluctor ring adaptions across all the above speed ranges and can be monitored by
TestBook. The test should be carried out as follows:
lEngine at normal operating temperature.
lSelect second gear (for both automatic and manual transmission vehicles).
lAccelerate until engine rev limiter is operational.
lRelease throttle smoothly to allow engine to decelerate throughout the speed ranges.
lRepeat process as necessary until all adaptations are complete.
TestBook is able to retrieve the following misfire detection fault codes:

The flywheel/ reluctor ring adaptions must be reset if the CKP sensor or the flywheel are changed.
Vehicle Speed Signal (VSS)
The VSS is used, by the ECM, to control idle speed and overrun cut off. The ECM receives the signal through a hard
wired connection direct from the SLABS ECU.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox, two vehicle speed signals are received by the ECM. The second signal
is derived from the main gearbox output shaft speed, and is sent to the ECM by the Electronic Automatic Transmission
(EAT) ECU though the Controller Area Network (CAN). The ECM compares the vehicle speed signal generated by
the SLABS ECU with that supplied via the CAN.
The ECM also receives transfer box information. This allows the ECM to take in to account the vehicle being driven
using low range gearing and compensate as necessary.
On vehicles with manual transmission, the SLABS signal is checked against a threshold value stored in ECM memory.
If other engine parameters indicate the engine is at high load and the VSS is below the threshold, a fault condition is
registered in the diagnostic memory.
The vehicle speed signal generated by the SLABS ECU is in the form of a pulse width modulated signal (PWM).
Pulses are generated at 8000 per mile, and the frequency of the signal changes in accordance with road speed. At
zero road speed the ECU outputs a reference signal at a frequency of 2Hz for diagnostic purposes.
Function
The input signal for the SLABS ECU is measured via pin 22 of connector C0637 of the ECM. The SLABS ECU
generates a PWM signal switching between 0 and 12 volts at a frequency of 8000 pulses per mile. For vehicles with
automatic gearbox the input signal for the EAT ECU is measured via pins 36 and 37 of connector C0637 of the ECM.
These pin numbers provide a bi-directional communications link using the CAN data bus.

Description
General
The clutch system is a diaphragm type clutch operated by a hydraulic cylinder. The drive plate is of the rigid centre
type with no integral damping springs. The flywheel is of the dual mass type with damping springs integral with the
flywheel. The clutch requires no adjustment to compensate for wear.
Hydraulic clutch
The hydraulic clutch comprises a master cylinder, slave cylinder and a hydraulic reservoir. The master and slave
cylinders are connected to each other hydraulically by plastic and metal pipes. The plastic section of the pipe allows
ease of pipe routing and also absorbs engine movements and vibrations.
The master cylinder comprises a body with a central bore. Two ports in the body connect the bore to the hydraulic
feed pipe to the slave cylinder and the fluid reservoir. The bore is also connected to a damper which prevents engine
pulses being transferred hydraulically to the clutch pedal. A piston is fitted in the bore and has an external rod which
is attached to the clutch pedal with a pin. Two coil springs on the clutch pedal reduce the effort required to depress
the pedal.
The master cylinder is mounted on the bulkhead and secured with two bolts. The cylinder is connected to the shared
brake/clutch reservoir on the brake servo by a braided connecting hose.
The slave cylinder is located on the left hand side of the gearbox housing and secured with two bolts. A heat shield
is fitted to protect the underside of the slave cylinder from heat generated from the exhaust system. The slave cylinder
comprises a cylinder with a piston and a rod. A port in the cylinder body provides the attachment for the hydraulic feed
pipe from the master cylinder. A second port is fitted witha bleed nipple used for removing air from the hydraulic
system after servicing. The piston rod locates on a clutch release lever located in the gearbox housing. The rod is
positively retained on the release lever with a clip.
Clutch mechanism
The clutch mechanism comprises a flywheel, drive plate, pressure plate, release lever and a release bearing. The
clutch mechanism is fully enclosed at the rear of the engine by the gearbox housing.
A clutch release bearing sleeve is attached in the gearbox housing with two bolts and located on two dowels. A spigot
with a ball end is formed on the release bearing sleeve and provides amounting and pivot point for the clutch release
lever. A dished pivot washer is located on the ball of the spigot. When the release lever is located on the ball, the pivot
washer seats against the rear face of the release lever. A spring clip is located on the lever and the pivot washer and
secures the lever on the spigot. A small bolt retains the spring clip in position.
The release lever is forked at its inner end and locates on the clutch release bearing carrier. The outer end of the
release lever has a nylon seat which locates the slave cylinder piston rod. A second nylon seat, positioned centrally
on the release lever, locates on the ball spigot of the release bearing sleeve and allows the release lever to pivot freely
around the ball.
The clutch release bearing locates on the clutch release lever and release bearing sleeve. The bearing is retained on
a carrier which has two flats to prevent the carrier rotating on the release lever. A clip retains the release lever on the
carrier. The bearing and carrier are not serviceable individually.
