1997 rover 200 Crankshaft sensor

Crankshaft sensor location details 

Testing crankshaft sensor before replacing it is advisable.

Crank sensor breaks or gets faulty and you notice crank issues and no start issues on your vehicle.

The crank sensor for rover is very delicate when used,so many a times it gets cracked,so remove the sensor out with care from its housing where its mounted.


The crank sensor is located down the back of the engine held with one small bolt - and has a blue plug usually.
The crankshaft sensor is located at the rear of the engine under the inlet manifold.

Its  few  inches above the driveshaft as it goes into the gearbox.
As per the details provided  it is quite difficult to see and can be a pain to remove.
But its exact location is there.

If you locate the sensor and its very hard to remove,then please dont force to remove it with any other tool or screw driver.Just use wd-40 spray on it.The rust and dirt collected on the sensor area will get diluted and with slight wiggling you will be able to remove the sensor out.


Basic Procedure to test Crank Sensor

With the help of meter test for continuity of sensor from one end to another end.
If you get continuity these clears sensor is not cracked or broken in between.
Trace the wiring back from the sensor to the connection block should be fastened on a bracket next to the cylinder head. 

Now once you get continuity test for ohm readings of sensor.Disconnect the sensor and connect the multi-tester probes to the sensor end of the wiring you should get a reading of around 100 ohms to 5k ohms if your get a reading above this or no reading at all either the wiring to the sensor is faulty or the sensor itself is 

The Second test is with vehicle on and  sensor disconnected .
Set the set the meter to AC volts.
Now  probe the wiring at the sensor end and get someone to turn the engine over .
For a working sensor you get  fluctuating reading of anywhere between 0.5v and 2.0v.
If this reading is not seen on meter then crank sensor is faulty.

The sensor looks like on the clutch side of the gearbox adapter plate.

where is crank sensor located on a dodge durango 1999?

The crankshaft position sensor is on the right side of the engine just to the rear of the right hand exhaust manifold, the sensor is attached to the block with two bolts, part of the sensor overhangs the transmission bell housing. Look at the bell housing and start going up, you will see the sensor almost in line with the right exhaust manifold. It has a grommet that overhangs the transmissions bell housing. Use a flashlight from below and you will see it.

--------------

The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor in your 1999 Dodge Durango provides a cranking signal to the onboard computer that is used, along with the camshaft position sensor, to calculate correct ignition system and fuel injection function. Symptoms of a failed CKP sensor are an engine that won't start, with no spark to the spark plugs, or an engine that stalls when it gets hot but will restart after it cools off. The average do-it-yourself mechanic can replace this sensor in about an hour using basic hand tools.

Allow the engine to cool completely. Disconnect the negative battery cable using a 13 mm wrench and lay it beside the battery so it cannot accidentally touch the battery terminal and cause sparks.

Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor located on top of the transmission bell housing angled slightly to the driver side of the truck. This connector is equipped with a red locking tab that must be pried out of the connector with a small screwdriver before the release can be pressed to remove the connector from the sensor.

Remove the two 13 mm bolts that attach the sensor to the bell housing. Pull and twist to slide the sensor out of the bell housing and lay it aside. Insert the new sensor into the bell housing. Reinstall the bolts and tighten them securely.

Plug the electrical connector into the sensor and slide the red locking tab into place.

Reconnect the negative battery cable and tighten it securely. Start the engine and test-drive the truck to verify it runs properly.
