Crankshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair

Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement

Removal Procedure






1. Turn the ignition OFF.

Caution: Ensure that the vehicle is properly supported and squarely positioned. To help avoid personal injury when a vehicle is on a hoist, provide additional support for the vehicle on the opposite end from which the components are being removed.

2. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor harness connector.
3. Raise the vehicle.
4. Remove the CKP sensor attachment bolt and remove the sensor.

Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the O-ring is on the CKP sensor and lubricate the O-ring with mineral oil based grease.

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.

2. Install the CKP sensor and attachment bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the crankshaft position sensor bolt to 8 Nm (71 lb in).

3. Connect the CKP sensor harness connector. Push the connector in until the lock position is felt, then pull back to confirm engagement.
