Removal Procedure
- Remove the electrical connector.
- Remove the sensor hold down bolt.
- Remove the sensor from the timing cover.
- Inspect the sensor 0-ring for wear, cracks or leakage.
Important: When installing or removing a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor, make sure the sensor is fully seated and held stationary in the front cover before torquing the hold down bolt into the front cover. A sensor which is not seated may result in erratic operation and lead to the setting of false codes.
Replace if necessary. Lube the new o-ring with clean engine oil before installing.
Installation Procedure
- Install the sensor into the timing cover.
- Install the sensor hold down bolt.
- Install the electrical connector.
- Perform the CKP System Variation Learn Procedure. Refer to Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn .
Important: Make certain that the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor mounting surfaces are clean and free of burrs before installing the CKP sensor.
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.
Tighten
Tighten the hold down bolt to 8 N·m (71 lb in).
