Code 8: TDC/Crank Sensor

  1. Turn ignition off. Remove clock fuse in the under-hood relay box for 10 seconds to reset ECU. Start engine and observe "CHECK ENGINE" light. If light is off, problem is intermittent. Test drive and check again.
  2. If light is on, turn ignition off. Disconnect 4-wire sensor connector at distributor. Measure resistance between Orange/Blue and White/Blue terminals. If reading is not 700-1000 ohms, replace distributor assembly. If reading is within specification, proceed to next step.
  3. Check continuity between ground and Orange/Blue wire terminal. Check continuity between ground and White/Blue wire terminal. If continuity exists, sensor is shorted to ground. Replace distributor assembly. If no continuity exists, proceed to next step.
  4. Reconnect sensor connector. Attach ECU test harness to main wire harness side only. See Figure . Using an ohmmeter, check resistance between connector C3 and C4 terminals. Resistance should be 700-1000 ohms.
  5. If resistance is not within specification, repair open or short in Orange/Blue and/or White/Blue wire. If resistance is within specification, substitute a known good ECU. If condition is rectified, replace original ECU.
