CYLINDER IDENTIFICATION (CID) SENSOR OR CRANKSHAFT SENSOR
Disconnect sensor connector. See CID SENSOR LOCATION. Measure resistance across sensor terminals. Resistance should be 300-750 ohms. For additional circuit testing information, see CIRCUIT TEST DR in TESTS W/CODES - EEC-IV article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section.
| Application | Location |
|---|---|
| 1.9L | Rear Of Cylinder Head Near Coil Pack |
| 2.3L HSC | Lower Right Side Of Distributor |
| 2.3L OHC | Left Front Of Engine Below Intake Manifold |
| 3.0L (Except Probe) | Right Rear Side Of Engine |
| 3.0L (Probe) | Inside Distributor |
| 3.8L SC | Upper Front Right Side Of Engine |
| 4.6L | Left Side Of Engine Below Ignition Coil |
| (1) CID sensor is camshaft-driven on all engines except 2.3L OHC; 2.3L OHC uses a crankshaft-mounted sensor. | |
