what component locked up to break the serp belt. it does not do this without a failure in something in the front.

after this is determined, go back to the crank sensor. make sure the wiring and sensor itself is not damaged.

lastly, do a compression test to verify if the timing belt is good.

one of the pulleys or tensioner in the timing belt area may have locked up. the serp belt breaks for a reason.
