I have a C180Kompressor (W203 - M271.946) AUTO gearbox with fault 'NO SIGNAL' from crankshaft position sensor. I replaced it by an original crankshaft sensor (MB A003 153 28 28 = BOSCH 0 261 210 170) but stil having no signal when engine runs. The sensor has 675 Ohm but when engine is running those ohms disappear. I connected two cables direct to the sensor to avoid contact with the ECU and is exactly the same: 675 Ohms until the starter runs, at that moment the read is zero Ohm.
This is correct the OHMS should be 700 ohms to 1400 ohms at normal operating temperature. The type of CKP is a pulse generator and it produces a AC voltage . Use the AC scale of the voltmeter if it produces the voltage it may be the DME not seeing the signal.
