Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REPLACEMENT
REMOVAL PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT: The Crankshaft Position (CKP) System Variation Learn Procedure will need to be performed whenever the CKP sensor is removed or replaced. Refer to CKP System Variation Learn Procedure.

CAUTION: Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition key must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.






2. Disconnect the CKP sensor harness connector.






3. Remove the CKP sensor hold down bolt.






4. Remove the CKP sensor from the timing cover.
5. Inspect the CKP sensor 0-ring for wear, cracks or leakage. Replace if necessary. Lube the new o-ring with clean engine oil before installing.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

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.






1. Make certain that the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor mounting surfaces are clean and free of burrs before installing the CKP sensor.






2. Install the CKP sensor into the timing cover.

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.






3. Install the CKP sensor hold down bolt.

TIGHTEN
^ Tighten the hold down bolt to 8 Nm (71 lb. in).

4. Connect the CKP sensor harness connector.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
6. Perform the CKP System Variation Learn Procedure. Refer to CKP System Variation Learn Procedure.
