The crankshaft position

which uses Hall IC is

located near crankshaft
pulley. This sensor detects
and counts the tooth on
target wheel(30-2) and
provides ECM with the
information on the current
position of crank angle
and cylinder, and also the
duration of each tooth and
segment.

So injection and ignition could be activated exactly in desired crank

angle and current engine speed could be calculated. Also misfiring
detection is basically through this CKP Sensor. ECM calculates each
crank angular acceleration speed. When abnormal combustion
happens, fluctuation or occurring of interval difference between
each angular speed is detected as an misfiring by ECM.

Unlike other general target wheel which is composed with 60 teeth including 2 missing
teeth, Picanto's target wheel has 30 teeth with 2 missing teeth. Except this tooth unit all
logical processing in ECM is the same as before.

Hall Effect
Hall element is made of
small, thin and plain
semiconductor substance.
When vertically installing
conductor between two
permanent magnet, and
supplying power to the
conductor, electrons in
the conductor will be
vertically deflected
against supply current
and magnets, and then
one side will have surplus
electrons and the other
side will be short of
electrons generating
potential difference
between two ends. It is
called Hall effect. The
generated voltage is
proportional to current
and intensity of magnetic
field, and then if the
current is constant the
output will be proportional
to magnetic field's
intensity. However if the
voltage is not strong
enough, it has to be
boosted before being
used.

If abnormal shock is felt

during running or engine
stops suddenly during
idling, shake CKP sensor
harness. If engine stops,
check for poor contact in
connector. If engine rpm
in current data or
tachometer in cluster
indicates "0" rpm during
cranking, check CKP
sensor first and then go to
ignition system for defect.
Starting or intermittent
engine stop problem
normally results from this
sensor.

Digital circuit tester is used to check sensor for circuit-break and

short, and connector for contact condition. ECM Pin No. 15 used for
CKP Sensor Signal. To check sensor's proper working, measure the
power supply voltage of 12 and check for continuity of the ground
circuit.
Measuring waveform using oscilloscope is another way to check
this sensor's problem.
