Warning! Before performing the operation, be sure to read the section «Safety measures for the maintenance and repair of the engine management system».
Comment. Depending on the engine model and year of manufacture of the car, the crankshaft position sensors may differ and have a different location. Below are two options.
To do the job, you will need a set of flat probes.
Replacing the sensor located in the cylinder block
1. We prepare the car for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. Disconnect the wiring harness block from the sensor.
3. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, unscrew the bolt securing the crankshaft position sensor.
4. Remove the sensor from the engine block.
5. If necessary, remove the sealing ring from the sensor.
6. Install the sensor in reverse order.
Replacing the sensor located at the crankshaft pulley
1. We prepare the car for work (see «Preparing the car for maintenance and repair»).
2. Disconnect the wiring harness block from the crankshaft position sensor.
3. We remove the block from the bracket on the engine block.
4. Using the TORX key, we unscrew the bolt securing the crankshaft position sensor.
5. Remove the sensor from the mounting bracket.
6. Install the sensor in reverse order. Using a flat feeler gauge, we check the gap between the surface of the sensor and the crankshaft pulley; for normal operation of the sensor, the gap should be from 0.3 to 1.7 mm.
