Crankshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
1995 Chevrolet Beretta L4-2.2L VIN 4SECTION Testing and Inspection
DESCRIPTION
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) receives the 7X reference signal from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to enable alternating synchronous double fire fuel control. This signal is called a "7X" reference signal because it is a pulse which occurs 7 times per revolution. The PCM uses this signal from the CKP sensor to calculate engine RPM.
DIAGNOSIS
A Tech 1 scan tool has two displays based on this input. One indicates crank RPM or simply that the PCM is receiving the 7X reference pulses while cranking. The other indicates engine RPM while the engine is running.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
