Please tell me where the crankshaft sensor is located on this vehicle. I'm getting conflicting information.
The car listed above is a Police 3.6L DI FFV DOHC six cylinder.

Hello,

If you are facing the engine; The crank position sensor is located on back of the engine lower right hand side (see diagram below).

Please note that some of these crank sensor requires reprogramming using a specialty scan tool.
