Crankshaft Position Sensor

The service of the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor begins with putting the vehicle in NEUTRAL gear and hoisting it up before proceeding with the following steps. The installation process begins by disconnecting the sensor electric connector then removing its securing bolt followed by removing the sensor unit. New sensor installation requires tightening the bolt to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) and proper positioning of sensor wires at a distance from the battery cable. The service process ends with performing the removal steps in reverse order.

Service of Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor requires disconnecting the electrical connector followed by removing securing bolts and removing the sensor. When installing the new CKP sensor reverse the steps of removal by placing the sensor directly on the damper. The sensor contains wear tabs that will disappear during multiple engine rotations. Run the sensor wires separately from the battery cable to avoid disturbances between them.

The first step to service the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor requires the vehicle to be in neutral gear while on a hoist. Begin service of the CKP sensor by first removing the battery ground cable and Disconnecting the electrical connector and Unfastening the bolt to Extract the sensor. Correct installation of the new CKP sensor demands that it engages the damper because its wear tabs will disappear following several engine revolutions. Avoid placing sensor wiring near the battery cable when routing it. The battery ground cable removal process should be used in reverse to finish the installation of the new components.

The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor service requires placing the vehicles on a hoist with neutral gear and disconnecting the battery cable ground. Service the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor by removing its components according to both the provided illustration and written ordering information. During installation the sensor wiring must stay at a distance from the battery cable before performing a reverse removal procedure for final installation completion.

The first step for Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor service on 4.0L SOHC engines requires hoisting the vehicle in neutral gear. Detach the electrical connector from the CKP sensor then remove its two securing bolts. You should fasten new sensor bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) torque specification while moving the sensor wiring path preferably beyond the battery cable area. The installation ends with executing the opposite actions to those in the removal process.

The Crankshaft Position Sensor repair process requires starting with disconnecting the battery ground cable. You must disconnect the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor after battery ground cable removal. Reverse the removal procedure to install both 4.0L SOHC and 4.0L (push rod) CKP sensors by positioning them against the damper because the sensor contains wear tabs which diminish with continuous engine revolutions. Place the sensor wires at a distance from the battery cable.

First, disconnect the electrical connector.

Reverse the removal procedure.

Ensure the vehicle is in NEUTRAL and positioned on a hoist.

Disconnect the battery ground cable and the electrical connector of the CKP sensor.

Ensure that the sensor wiring is routed away from the battery cable.

Install the Crankshaft Timing Peg and turn the crankshaft pulley bolt.

Disconnect the CKP sensor electrical connector and remove the two bolts securing the sensor.

Remove the bolt securing the CKP sensor and take out the sensor itself.

Disconnect the CKP sensor electrical connector.

Tighten the bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

Remove the bolt securing the CKP sensor and take out the sensor itself.

Reverse the removal procedure.
