What is MID 132:
MID 132 refers to a problem with the Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit. The ECM detects an abnormal signal from the crankshaft position sensor, which can lead to engine timing issues, misfires, or failure to start the engine.
Why This Happens:
- Faulty crankshaft position sensor.
- Damaged or shorted wiring in the sensor circuit.
- Loose or corroded sensor connectors.
- ECM failure to interpret the sensor’s data correctly.
- Mechanical issues affecting crankshaft sensor readings.
How to Fix It:
- Inspect the crankshaft position sensor for visible damage or malfunction.
- Test the sensor’s voltage and resistance to verify proper functionality.
- Check wiring and connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Replace the faulty crankshaft position sensor if necessary.
- Ensure ECM is receiving the correct sensor data.
How to Avoid It Before It Happens:
- Regularly inspect the crankshaft position sensor and wiring.
- Keep connectors clean and free from corrosion.
- Perform routine diagnostic checks on sensor performance.
- Verify ECM signal processing for accuracy.
- Clue’s Equipment Maintenance services track crankshaft sensor health to prevent timing issues before they affect engine operation.
