Hi, I am currently trying to change the crankshaft position sensor, and cannot even locate it within the engine. I have been under the car and above on both passenger and driver sides and I cannot see it. Do I need to remove something first in order to access it or how do I get to it? Any other pertinent information you think I should know in relation to the question would help too. Thank you

Welcome to 2CarPros.

The crankshaft position sensor (OBD) is located on the trans-axle housing facing the gear teeth (cogs) of the flywheel or drive plate. I attached two pictures to help.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
