2008 Lincoln Town Car Crankshaft Position Sensor Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service the Crankshaft Position Sensor on 2008 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Service of the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor requires starting with a neutral-gear vehicle on a hoist. To access the A/C compressor pulley require rotation of the tensioner until the accessory drive belt can be removed. Then you should disconnect both the A/C compressor field coil electrical connector and the CKP sensor electrical connector. The procedure requires disconnecting the two wiring harness clips by removing the nut before tightening them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) during reinstallation. Three A/C compressor stud bolts require loosening until the compressor drops one inch to access the CKP sensor but subsequent torque to 25 Newton-meters (18 pound-feet) is necessary. The bolt that attaches the CKP sensor needs to be taken out while ensuring that this bolt gets tightened to 10 Nm (89 lb-in) when replacing it. After performing the installation steps you should reverse the removal process to finish up the procedure.
