CAUTION: Do not forcefully pull the wiring harness of the CKP sensor. Doing so will break the harness.

3. Remove the CKP sensor.

CAUTION: When foreign material such as an iron chip is on the CKP sensor, it can cause abnormal output from the sensor because of flux turbulence and adversely affect the engine control. Be sure there is no foreign material on the CKP sensor when replacing.
