. . an ohmmeter before I'd replace it.

Disconnect the connector marked as "2" on the DI Module (see the picture in MENU#5 on my page; click link below). The "2" connector is the output end of the CKP sensor; other end goes to the tranny. The DI Module is located in the drivers side fender wall (under the cover).

With the end disconnected, you should read 860 ohms +/- 150 ohms. Then try to 'wiggle' the cable leading down to the tranny to see if the reading is steady. If is open or low resistance, then change it.

If it reads okl, it's not the CKP sensor. This failure is supposed to light the CE lamp in the IC. Did it?
