Thread: Changing reluctor ring - easy/hard?

I assume yours is GEMS. The reluctor ring is part of the flywheel. Not cheap for a new one. LR had to order mine in from the UK and it took about 6 weeks,

I may know of a brand new one locally at KLR Auto and am checking now. They found it on their shelves after mine had arrived.

Changing it is a gearbox or engine out job.

I can't access my pics as my desktop has died so I can't show you.... but some pics of my sensor signal here:

Thanks Ron.

It's just one tiny little tooth missing. i wonder how much this really affect performance? I'm tempted to try and weld/braise it back on.

Next step might be to see if the sensor is picking up the lost tooth - I'm assuming thought that sensor and the hall effect requires a tooth on either side of the sensor tip. Anyone know how I would test this?

That's what I did as one of mine was almost ripped off.

That oscilloscope image is one I got when I plugged my CRO across the sensor.

There's one on eBay at the moment - Linns Rover in WA

Thye have a tooth missing so the ECU knows where No 1TDC is.
It is normal.

Here an example of an 480° rotation and its resulting signal:

Yes, you can see that in my image above. The pulses of different heights are from damaged teeth.
