CRANK POSITION SENSOR (CKP)

GENERAL

The crank position sensor (CKP) is a variable reluctance (VR)
sensor. It generates an AC signal by sensing the passing of
the 30 teeth machined in the left side flywheel. Two consecutive
teeth are missing in the flywheel to establish a reference point.
The CKP sends a signal to the electronic control module which
references engine position (TDC) and engine speed.

NOTE

CKP sensor connector is not serviceable. Replace the entire
assembly if it fails.

REMOVAL

Remove seat.

To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause
death or serious injury, remove main fuse before pro-
ceeding. (00251b)

Remove main fuse.

Detach wiring behind regulator bracket.

Disengage connector from bracket.

See

CKP connector [79A] (3).

Remove screw and captive washer (2) to detach CKP
sensor and O-ring (1) from crankcase. Carefully remove
crank position sensor.

NOTE

Before removing wiring, carefully note wire routing. In particular,
pay close attention to the locations of cable straps which must
be replaced.

SPARK PLUG CABLES

GENERAL

Resistor-type high-tension spark plug cables have a carbon-
impregnated fabric core, instead of solid wire, for radio noise
suppression and improved reliability of electronic components.
Use the exact replacement cable for best results.

for spark plug information.

REMOVAL

Disconnecting spark plug cable with engine running can
result in electric shock and death or serious injury.
(00464b)

SPEEDOMETER

GENERAL

•

Both the ECM and the speedometer retain the odometer
value. If the speedometer is replaced, the new speedo-
meter will display the odometer value stored in the ECM.
The new speedometer will lock to the mileage stored in
the ECM after 31.1 mi (50 km) have been accumulated.
The trip B odometer will display the countdown mileage.

•

If the speedometer is installed on another vehicle after it
has locked to the ECM, the odometer will display "VIN
ERR" on the new vehicle. If the speedometer is removed
from the vehicle before the countdown reaches zero, it
will reset the mileage countdown to 31.1 mi (50 km). This
mileage countdown allows for a road test to verify that
speedometer replacement was the proper repair.
