Crank No-Start / Tachometer Needle Dead
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit Malfunction.
ACTION: Locate CKP sensor by the lower bellhousing / flywheel. Measure inductive coil resistance (spec: ~900–1,300Ω) or inspect Hall-effect 12V supply; clean clutch dust fuzz off sensor magnetic face.
Red Seal field insights
Clutch Dust Bridging: Small manual Kei trucks produce clutch lining dust that bridges the reluctor air gap on the bellhousing pickup, killing ignition trigger pulses.
