Crankshaft Position Sensor

Serving the crankshaft position sensor begins with removing the engine splash shield first. The initial step in servicing the crankshaft position sensor requires users to disconnect the electronic connection followed by sensor removal. The process of installation requires conducting the reverse steps of removal which finalize sensor installation.

Service of the Crankshaft Position Sensor begins with vehicle elevation and support. Start by unbolting the right front lower splash shield and follow by unconnecting the electrical connector from the CKP sensor. Remove the bolt securing the sensor first before disconnecting it. The sensor must then be extracted from its position. The installation process should begin with the reverse steps of sensor removal to mount the new sensor properly.

Start the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor service by having the vehicle in neutral while on the hoist. First disconnect the battery ground cable followed by removal of seven pin-type retainers and right-hand splash shield. The service of the crankshaft position sensor requires disconnecting its electrical connector followed by bolt removal from the sensor. During the process of installing the new CKP sensor it is essential to fasten the bolt to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) using standard installation steps to finish the job.

A hoist must support the vehicle in NEUTRAL mode before starting the Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor servicing. The service begins by removing four screws to set aside the RH fender splash shield followed by existing the 6 pin-type retainers and the RH splash shield assembly. Twist the crankshaft clockwise until the crankshaft pulley hole stands at the 3 o'clock mark then remove the cylinder block plug. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until it reaches the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg whereby the No. 1 cylinder attains Top Dead Center (TDC) position. Then install the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg before continuing to turn the crankshaft until it meets the peg. Remove the bolts connecting the CKP sensor before disconnecting its electrical connector then discard the sensor. The crankshaft pulley requires 6 mm x 18 mm standard bolts to be hand-tightened to protect the front cover. The new CKP sensor installation requires the provided alignment tool to position it correctly; place both sensor bolts loosely before using the tool to adjust the CKP sensor. Finally, tighten the bolts to 7 Nm torque. Before final tightening, apply the alignment tool to adjust the CKP sensor position and follow by tightening the 2 CKP bolts to 7 Nm (62 lb-in). Connect the CKP sensor wiring while unfastening the 6 mm pulley bolt from the crankshaft and replace the block opening with a plug which should be tightened to 20 Nm (177 lb-in). In the last step reinstall the 6 pin-type retainers and the RH splash shield while using the four screws to fasten the RH fender splash shield into place.

Start the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor service by having the vehicle in neutral while on the hoist. First disconnect the battery ground cable followed by removal of seven pin-type retainers and right-hand splash shield. The service of the crankshaft position sensor requires disconnecting its electrical connector followed by bolt removal from the sensor. During the process of installing the new CKP sensor it is essential to fasten the bolt to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) using standard installation steps to finish the job.

You should start Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor service by placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL position while using a hoist to secure it. Take away the 5 bolts as well as the pin-type retainer and right-hand splash shield. The crankshaft should be turned clockwise until its pulley hole reaches the 3 o'clock orientation before uninstalling the engine plug bolt. You should position the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg to ensure the No. 1 cylinder sits at Top Dead Center (TDC). Then install the peg before turning the crankshaft clockwise until it reaches the peg. First disconnect the electrical connector from the CKP sensor then remove the mounting bolts which secure the device. The installation must use hand-tightening to pass a 6 mm x 18 mm bolt through the crankshaft pulley into the front cover so as to prevent damage. Fasten the CKP sensor as well as the remaining 2 bolts but do not fully tighten them. Companies should employ the Crankshaft Sensor Aligner to adjust the CKP sensor followed by tightening the two bolts to 7 Nm (62 lb-in). Finally restore the CKP sensor electrical connector along with removing the 6 mm x 18 mm bolt from the crankshaft pulley and installing the engine plug bolt at 20 Nm (177 lb-in). Secondly attach the right-hand splash shield by hooking it into the 5 bolts and pin-type retainer while the bolt torque reaches 9 Nm (80 lb-in). Conclude the inspection by using a scan tool to run the Misfire Monitor Neutral Profile Correction procedure that will appear on the screen display.

Serving the crankshaft position sensor begins with removing the engine splash shield first. The initial step in servicing the crankshaft position sensor requires users to disconnect the electronic connection followed by sensor removal. The process of installation requires conducting the reverse steps of removal which finalize sensor installation.

Service of the Crankshaft Position Sensor requires workers to detach the electrical connector that links to the sensor unit before moving on to the next step. Next, remove the CKP sensor. Crankshaft Position Sensor installation should follow the same steps in reverse order to removal.

Service of the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor requires a vehicle placement on a hoist with NEUTRAL gear selection. First disconnect the CKP sensor electrical connector followed by the removal of its securing bolt which allows you to pull out the sensor unit. The sensor installation requires a 10 Nm (89 lb-in) torque specification for the bolt which should be followed by engine oil application on the O-ring seal before reassembling the components.

Start the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor service by having the vehicle in neutral while on the hoist. First disconnect the battery ground cable followed by removal of seven pin-type retainers and right-hand splash shield. The service of the crankshaft position sensor requires disconnecting its electrical connector followed by bolt removal from the sensor. During the process of installing the new CKP sensor it is essential to fasten the bolt to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) using standard installation steps to finish the job.

Service of the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor begins with putting the vehicle in neutral position and hoisting it up. Start by disconnecting the battery ground cable together with any needed removal of underbody cover fasteners. You need to disconnect both the electrical connector of the CKP sensor and then remove the bolt to extract the sensor from its position. The O-ring seal of the new CKP sensor requires clean engine oil as lubrication before you tighten the bolt to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). Perform the installation by proceeding in reverse order of the removal steps.

Disconnect the electrical connector from the CKP sensor.
