            0

Disconnect the negative (-) cable from the battery.

Warning! This will erase data in electronic memory devices, such as the engine fault memory device or the radio code. Please read the section carefully "Removing and installing the battery", before disconnecting it.


The first pulse sensor



The first pulse sensor (CPS sensor) is located on the engine flywheel, at the engine/gearbox junction near the exhaust pipe. This sensor sends information to the ignition system control unit about the current engine speed and the position of the engine crankshaft.

Examination



Examination


Disconnect the plug from the pulse sensor, while pressing the wire fuse.

Measure the resistance on both contacts of the pulse sensor plug. Specified value: 200-450 Ohm.

If the specified value cannot be obtained, the sensor must be replaced.

Replacement



Unscrew the bolts on the pulse sensor support and remove this sensor.

Install a new pulse sensor, tighten the bolts to 5 Nm, i.e. tighten only a little.

Snap the plug onto the pulse sensor.

Second pulse sensor



The second pulse sensor (CID sensor) is mounted on the front wall of the cylinder head. It measures the camshaft position for the intake valves.



This pulse sensor is tested in exactly the same way as the first sensor.

To gain access to the second pulse sensor, you must first remove the air intake hose, see p. 5.6.
