Crankshaft Position Sensor circuit

[whiteflash]

Just got this CEL. Please say its not crankwalk.

Does the car still run? If its not running, then its crankwalk. What happens is the crank literally destroys the crank position sensor, and then the car just shuts off because the car needs that sensor to run. I think it will start to try to crank over again if you try to start it up, but it wont turn over. I would assume its crankwalk, or crankwalk is in your future. Not to scare you or anything, but thats what Im assuming. Unless the sensor is just bad or something.

Again, dont take my word for it. Lets wait and see what more advanced DSMers have to say.

It runs fine. The light came on when my battery went dead because I left my door ajar overnight. After i jumped it with my truck the light came on. first time its come on before.
