15.ERRATIC CKP SIGNAL
Turn the ignition off.
With a lab scope probe and the Miller special tool #6801, backprobe the (K24) CKP Signal circuit in the CKP har-
ness connector.
WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands
near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do notwear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
personal injury or death.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Wiggle the related wire harness and lightly tap on the Crankshaft PositionSensor.
Observe the lab scope screen.
Allow the engine to idle.
Observe the lab scope screen.

Test complete, the conditions that set this DTC are not present at this time

When Monitored:
With battery voltage greater than 8 volts during engine cranking or greater than 12 volts with engine running,
engine rpm less than 2016, and none of the coils in dwell when checked.
Set Condition:
Peak current is not achieved with battery based dwell plus 1.5 ms of diagnostic offset. It takes less than 3
seconds during cranking or up to 6 seconds while running to set.
