Crankshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair

REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Remove the electrical connector.
2. Remove the sensor hold down bolt.

NOTE: 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.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
