Crankshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair

Crankshaft Position Sensor:






REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Electrical connector.
2. Sensor hold down bolt.
3. Sensor from timing cover.

INSPECT
^ Sensor O-ring for wear, cracks or leakage. Replace if necessary. Lube new O-ring with clean engine oil before installing.

NOTE: When installing/inspecting a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor be 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.
