There is transistor inside that 3 pins sensor...you should apply voltage on it and see if the signal pins work.

Would be interested to hear your response to J Flow comment below ref safety of this test

Good measurements Peter!

valuable info. Peter ...

Make sure what type of sensor you are testing ,most times sensors with 3 pins are hall effect, and you can destroy the sensor making this test.

Will cleaning the sensor regularly improve anything?

With the 2 pins socket, is it true that 1 pin is for sending impulse signal to the computer & another pin is a (+ve) from battery ?

If my crankshaft sensor is very dirty with dirt and oil will it make the car not start? I have no rpm at crank or spark

You shoul draw scematic diagram of that sensor...ur just testing it on a wrong way

Toyota corolla 1995 gli crankshaft sensor position please

Can you tell me where the crankshaft position sensor is located on a 1.6 Geo Prizm (Corolla)? Thank you.

You broke the sensor on live TV!

Where can I find the crankshaft sensor of toyota corolla 1995 gli sir?

Hi all! To my knowledge most engines use two types of Crankshaft sensors. 1. Inductive (magnetic) which are with one or two pins on the socket and which are capable of producing an electrical impulse without being supplied. 2. Those of hall-effect type that have 3 or 4 pins on the socket and that generate a digital pulse (square wave) provided they are supplied with a specific electrical current. Regardless of the type of Crankshaft sensor when measuring directly on the sensor with the multimeter, any type of good (not flawed) Crankshaft sensor must have a resistance of X ohms? I ask for your help in this problem because I am facing the following situation. My Crankshaft sensor no longer functional. I removed it from the engine and measured it with the digital multimeter directly on the pins. No resistance. I thought it was burnt (defective) and I bought an identical original one. When I received the sensor, before mounting it I tried to check it. Same thing. It has no resistance whatever the configuration of the measured pins. 1 with 2, 1 with 3, 3 with 1, etc. Nothing, no resistance in ohms, kohmi, although this sensor is new.. My question is: Regardless of the type of sensor crankshaft as long as it is operational (good) when directly measuring it with the multimeter must it have a certain value? My sensor type is a Mitsubishi ME203180 and as I reported above. Neither the new nor the old multimeter measurements indicate anything. Obviously the scale of the multimeter is selected correctly. Is it possible to be a perfectly operational sensor and not indicate any resistance when measuring with the multimeter? Thank you in advance!

The test is not clear sir

If its less 5 ohms is the sensor bad?

do you understand English very well?

if the sensor reading increase 500 reading more like 900

Ok

#Pointless

Terrible.
