Important: The crankshaft position (CKP) system variation learn procedure will need to be performed whenever the CKP sensor is removed or replaced.

1. Raise and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle .
2. If equipped, remove the engine shield bolts.
3. Remove the engine shield.



4. Disconnect the CKP sensor electrical connector (5).



5. Remove the CKP sensor bolt.



6. Remove the CKP sensor.

Important: When installing the CKP sensor, make sure the sensor is fully seated before tightening the bolt. A poorly seated CKP sensor may perform erratically and may set false diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

Important: Do not reuse the original O-ring seal.

1. If installing the old CKP sensor, install a NEW O-ring seal.
2. Lubricate the O-ring seal with clean engine oil.
3. Install the CKP sensor.




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.

4. Install the CKP sensor bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the bolt to 9 N·m (80 lb in).




5. Connect the CKP sensor electrical connector (5).



6. Install the engine shield.
7. Install the engine shield bolts.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 20 N·m (15 lb ft).

8. Perform the CKP system variation learn procedure. Refer to Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn .
