REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Assembly

Tools Required:

 

Removal

  1. Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor assembly electrical connectors from the engine harness.
  1. Remove the large electrical connector from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor assembly by prying out the red retaining clip and removing the four wires.



  1. Remove the crankshaft pulley assembly by removing the accessory drive belts, and then the four bolts that retain it to the crankshaft pulley hub assembly.
  1. Remove the timing belt outer cover. Refer to Section 03-01A.




    Item Part Number Description
    1 6E004 Timing Belt Outer Cover
    2 6C315 Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP)
    3 6C337 Crankshaft Pulley Hub Assy
    4A Bolt
    5 6312 Crankshaft Pulley Assy
    6B Bolt
    7 Plug
    A Tighten to 28-38 Nm (20-28 Lb-Ft)
    B Tighten to 8-12 Nm (6-9 Lb-Ft)

    NOTE: The vane cups are attached to the crankshaft pulley hub assembly.

  1. Rotate the crankshaft so that the keyway is at the 10 o'clock position. This will place the vane window of both inner and outer vane cups over the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor assembly.
  1. Remove two crankshaft position (CKP) sensor assembly retaining bolts, and the plastic wire harness retainer which secures the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor harness to its mounting bracket. Then remove the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor assembly, sliding the electrical wires out from behind the inner timing belt cover.
 

Installation

  1. Remove the large electrical connector from the new crankshaft position (CKP) sensor assembly.
  1. Position crankshaft position (CKP) sensor assembly. First slide electrical wires behind the inner timing belt cover. Then, hold the sensor assembly loosely in place with the retaining bolts, but do not tighten bolts at this time.



     CAUTION: Ensure the four wires to the large electrical connector are installed in the proper locations as indicated. The sensor will not function properly if the wires are installed in the wrong locations.

  1. Install the large electrical connector onto the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor assembly.



  1. Reconnect both of the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor electrical connectors to the engine harness.
  1. Rotate the crankshaft such that the outer vane on the crankshaft pulley hub assembly engages both sides of the Crankshaft Hall Effect Sensor Positioner T89P-6316-A and tighten the sensor assembly retaining bolts to specification.
