SPN 636/FMI 8
The diagnostic condition is typically CKP Sensor Time Out.
Note: If the sensor is removed, be sure to check the sensor tip for metal debris and clutch material and clean it if necessary.
Check as follows:
- Disconnect the MCM 120–pin connector.
- Measure the resistance between pins 42 and 43 of the MCM 120–pin connector.
- If the resistance is less than 140 Ω, go to step 3 .
- If the resistance is greater than 140 Ω, go to step 5 .
- Disconnect the CKP Sensor and clean the sensor tip.
- Measure the resistance between pins 42 and 43 of the MCM 120–pin connector.
- If the resistance is less than 3 Ω, repair the short between pins 42 and 43 of the MCM 120–pin connector and the CKP Sensor. Refer to “56.5.1 Verify Repairs” .
- If the resistance is greater than 3 Ω, replace the CKP Sensor. Refer to “56.5.1 Verify Repairs” .
- Disconnect the CKP Sensor.
- Jumper pins 1 and 2 of the CKP Sensor harness.
- Measure the resistance between pins 42 and 43 of the MCM 120–pin connector.
- If the resistance is greater than 3 Ω, repair the open between pins 42 and 43 of the MCM 120–pin connector and the CKP Sensor connector. Refer to “56.5.1 Verify Repairs” .
- If the resistance is less than 3 Ω, replace the CKP Sensor. Refer to “56.5.1 Verify Repairs” .
Verify Repairs
Verify repairs as follows:
- Turn ignition OFF.
- Reconnect any electrical connections that were disconnected to perform the diagnosis.
- Clear codes with DDDL 7.0 or latest version.
ENGINE EXHAUST To avoid injury from inhaling engine exhaust, always operate the engine in a well-ventilated area. Engine exhaust is toxic. - Start and bring engine up to operating temperature (over 140°F/60°C).
- Verify operation is satisfactory and no warning lamps illuminate. If warning lamps illuminate, troubleshoot the codes.
