Crankshaft Postion sensor resistor mod help

[victormak91]

Hi, i got a CEL because of a code P0335...and im trying to bypass it. I know that i need to get 185 ohm resistor but i dont know what watt should the resistor be? Ive seen resistors online with ~180 ohms that comes with 0.5w-20w. Which one should i get?

The watt rating of resistors has to do with the amount of heat it can displace. The smaller the watt rating the less heat it can handle in the form of current/volts. The one watt should be enough for your application though. The bigger the watt rating the bigger the resistor will be as well. I wouldnt go below the one watt rating though.

i just found a forum that says that a resistor mod wont work on the crankshaft position sensor..is that correct???

How about you just get a new sensor...
