How to test a crank sensor with a voltmeter

The tests shown in this video apply to camshaft, crankshaft and vehicle speed sensors on ALL Chrysler models, in all production years. The vehicle being tested is a 1997 Jeep with a 4.0L engine.
Chrysler has changed very little in regards to their hall effect sensors throughout the years. Older systems used an 8-9v reference circuit (power supply), where the newer systems use 5v. And with all of them, the signal circuit is a 5v pull-down design.
Engine Performance Diagnostics chapter 21 pages 20-29
Tests shown
- how to check a crank sensor with a voltmeter
-what does an on/off digital signal look like on a voltmeter
- how to check the 5v reference and ground to the sensor
- how to perform a bypass test
- how to verify signal circuit integrity
Tools used
- digital multimeter
- jumper wire
- backprobing pins
- incandescent test light
- scan tool

My friend has been mentioning problems with his sebring all of which are consistent with your chrysler, dodge, mitsubisbi 2.5 knocking, pinging and stalling vid from a few weeks ago. He has had 3 mechanics look at it and give up because there are no DTCs. The hour long video changed my directional mindset, I was going to look for a no com and go from there. I dont have a scope, just a simple handheld scanner with live data capabilities. This vid is exactly what I needed to confirm circuit integrity with a dvom. You Sir are very much appreciated, thank you for your time and effort!

I just did a primary chain and balance shaft chain on a 2.2 GM Ecotec engine. When I first tried to start the car it wouldn't run too well. Got a P0340 code. I was thinking I made a mistake and missed a tooth on reassembly. Turns out I actually had a shorted cam sensor. I followed this exact process using my scope. 0.71v plugged in and 5v unplugged. No square wave during a crank. Powers and grounds were under good under load. I love this channel and the premium one. Great information as always.

I am a ex Royal Automobile Club Patrol (Auto Club) I'd just like to say that this video although to some very technical, would save you money in the long run. So many forums online talk a load of BS and at last I have seen someone without greed, show a way forward. The USA is a big place and dealerships can be only on the coast states. Well done. If you find a old Bosch Distributor with the hall effect, you can show the "window" clearly. But basically it's a gap within the "magnetic field that switches the transistor to ground". Nearly all circuits are ground switched as the 5 volts is used as a stable voltage opposed to the 12 volts. Which does vary with the starter engaged.

So I'm working on a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 engine. I'm a DIYer and I just did the sensor ground test like yours. In your test before cranking the engine and the DVOM hooked up, it read .009 millivolts, mine read .018, double that. I that normal for the truck? Wiring is my weak point, but thanks to you and a few others I've learned a thing or two and want to learn more. I acquired this truck free after the owner got fed up and let it go after it was stolen and recovered. I had to replace the ignition after it was punched by the thieves. It has a crank no start issue, It also had a "no bus" issue so I replaced the computer and solved that. Trying to get this beater running so I can use it as a cheap household projects truck. Keep up the great work you are doing by educating us.

You can use a test light, most pull-up hall effects are 12v anyway. Even if it was 5v you can still use a test light with no harm.

ScannerDanner hi Paul followed your test to the letter. Everything looked great. Until I got to the sensor ground test .engine running kept flucuating between 14 and 26 millivolts. When I first started. (ASD removed) for a split second it spiked to 93 then would go down to 14... I didn't see anywhere near the readings you had on that chrysler.. bad ground maybe? Car does start and run .but keep getting the p0340 cam code. And has a stumble .And bucks and hesitation.. I've tried just about everything. It's a 06 jeep liberty thank you

@keithnoneya 2 жыл бұрын

Did this on my 2003 Dakota and got not ASD Relay activation. It had the 5vdc like you did, both the feed and the PCM return or signal line. All the wires ohm out and I tried the ground pulsing on the PCM feed line and the ASD still didn't activate. The ASD ines all check good to the PCM and the Fuse panel, fuse good tool. I also have a NO BUS on the Instrument panel, 920 and 921 codes pop as well. My only conclusion at this point is the PCM must be bad. I reconnected the CKP and ran an oscope on the CKP to PCM feed line, and no pulses came out of the connector, so I probably have a dual problem, PCM and CKP. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed the instruction. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya

What I don't know is why the numbers would drop to zero.

on the older ones they used an 8-9v power feed to the hall effects. either way I don't like 7v. double check that again and make sure your meter has a good ground and also give me the exact number. (example 7.99V is a lot better than 7.23) you should be closer to 9 v on your system in the feed circuit only. The signal is still a 5 v pull down design (sensor unplugged you should read 5)

Hi Paul, since this is a 5v pull down hall effect sensor, it's easy to ground it with no danger by doing so but, is there a 5v pull up design? If so, I'm guessing that I can't use the test light from B+ since its 12v. Can I jump the 5v power feed to the signal wire to do this bypass testing??

@ScannerDanner 7 жыл бұрын

No danger in grounding a 5v pull-down circuit, even with a jumper wire. I've never seen a 5v pull-up but if there was one, you could still use your test light and tap into the 5v ref circuit from another sensor.

@pupuffpass 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome explanation love the video. I have a question about an issue I'm having. Testing both power and signal wires without the sensors plugged in should read 5 v right. Well when I do the bypass test the cam reacts like it should but the crank reacts to both signal and power wires tripping the relays on both wires but what's weird is that aren't they connected together with one power feed feeding both sensors. Or actually the speed sensor as well right? So if the wires were touching then wouldn't it have the same affect on the other sensor wire harness or does the signals relay back to the ECU separately

@ScannerDanner 2 жыл бұрын

So with your bypass test, you are jumping those circuits to ground? You shouldn't do that to the reference circuit.
