You can easily test the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor, which is located near the crankshaft pulley, with a multimeter. No scan tool needed. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to do it. You'll easily and quickly find out if the CKP is good or bad on your 1991-1997 4.0L V6 Ford Explorer (Aerostar).
Here is how you can easily test both your crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. It's very important to be able to test these sensor since because they control your
To test the crankshaft position sensor, first, identify the type of sensor employed in the vehicle. Use a multimeter to test the voltage and resistance of the sensor. Remember not to test the resistance of the Hall Effect sensor.
Testing a Hall Effect Type CKP Sensor. Testing a Hall effect type sensor is best using an oscilloscope. But not many DIYers own one. Still, you can use a DMM to test this type of CKP sensor in your vehicle. And, unless stated in your vehicle repair manual, do not check the resistance of your Hall effect CKP sensor.
