Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description

The crankshaft position sensor (ne signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.

The ne signal plate (crankshaft position sensor plate) has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft. The ne signal sensor generates 34 signals for each engine revolution. This sensor monitors a plate (timing rotor) located on the crankshaft timing pulley and is used by the ecm to detect crankshaft angle and engine speed (rpm/ne). As the crankshaft timing pulley rotates through an engine revolution, this sensor communicates the rotation of the ne signal plate as a pulse signal to the ecm. Based on the signal, the ecm controls fuel injection time and ignition timing.

Reference: inspection using the oscilloscope.

Hint

: the correct waveform is as shown on the left.

Monitor description

Monitor description

If there is no signal from the crankshaft sensor despite the engine revolving, the ecm interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

    Inspection procedure
    Hint: if different dtcs related to different systems that have terminal e2 as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal e2 may be open. Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the obd ii scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malf ...

    Inspection procedure
    Hint: start the inspection from step 1 in case of using the hand–held tester and start from step 2 in case of not using the hand–held tester. 1 Read value of hand–held tester(front speed sensor) Select the datalist mode on the hand–held tester.  check that there is no differe ...
