Important: The CKP system variation learn procedure will need to be performed whenever the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is removed or replaced. Refer to Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn .

1. Raise the vehicle.



2. If the vehicle is equipped with the underbody shield package, then remove the steering linkage shield mounting bolts.



3. Remove the steering linkage shield.



4. Disconnect the CKP sensor harness connector.



5. Remove the CKP sensor mounting bolt.



6. Remove the CKP sensor.

Important: 

1. Replace the CKP sensor O-ring.
2. Lubricate the O-ring with clean engine oil before installing the CKP sensor.




Important: Make sure the CKP sensor mounting surface is clean and free of burrs.

3. Install 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.

4. Install the CKP sensor mounting bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the CKP sensor mounting bolt to 9 N·m (80 lb in).




5. Connect the CKP sensor harness connector.



6. Install the steering linkage shield.



7. Install the steering linkage shield mounting bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 33 N·m (24 lb ft).

8. Lower the vehicle.
9. Perform the CKP system variation learn procedure. Refer to Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn .
