Removal Procedure
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
- Remove the starter motor. Refer to Starter Motor Replacement in Engine Electrical.
- Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor electrical connector.
- Remove the CKP sensor bolt (1).
- Remove the CKP sensor (2) from the engine block:
| • | Remove the sensor by pulling on the sensor connector. DO NOT pry on the bracket. |
| • | DO NOT rotate or twist the sensor or damage the mounting bracket if the sensor is being reused. |
Installation Procedure
Important: When replacing the CKP sensor with a new sensor or reinstalling the
original sensor, use the following recommended procedures:
• Ensure that the CKP sensor bore is completely free of any foreign
material, such as old O-ring, dirt, burrs, etc. • Ensure that the flange on the CKP sensor bore is not damaged. • Clean all the mounting surfaces before re-installing any components. • Inspect the CKP sensor and replace the sensor if any of the following
conditions are present: - The bracket is damaged. - The bottom of the brass housing exhibits any damage. - Never install a sensor that has been dropped. • Lubricate the O-ring on the sensor with clean engine oil prior
to installing the sensor . • Inspect all the connectors for any damaged terminals.
- Install and fully seat the CKP sensor (2) into the engine block.
- Install the CKP sensor bolt (1).
- Ensure that the CKP sensor mounting flange is contacting the engine block.
- Connect the CKP sensor electrical connector.
- Install the starter motor. Refer to Starter Motor Replacement in Engine Electrical.
- Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
- Lower the vehicle.
- The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn must be performed after replacing the CKP sensor. Even if the original sensor is reinstalled, the Learn Procedure must be performed.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
