Crankshaft position sensor location

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

The sensor is located on the left side of the transmission bell housing. See picture 4. The sensor is number 6, lower portion of the picture, and location points to bell housing on transmission.

Now, if you are replacing the sensor, make sure to follow these directions. The sensor must be shimmed to maintain the proper length which inserts into the mount.

The following directions are for replacing the sensor. The attached pictures correlate with these directions.

Crankshaft Position Sensor

Service repair no - 18.30.12

Before disconnecting the battery ensure all text and cautions in the battery disconnection procedure are observed.

Remove
1. Position vehicle on lift.
2. Disconnect battery earth lead.

3. Raise vehicle and disconnect multiplug from CKP sensor.
4. Clean area surrounding CKP sensor.
5. Remove Allen screw and remove CKP sensor.

Refit
1. Clean casing mating face.

2. Observe the following when replacing the transmission, incremental gear or the CKP sensor. If one or more spacers are fitted between transmission and CKP sensor the distance between the sensor and teeth on the incremental gear must be measured.
3. Rotate crankshaft until a full 'trigger tooth is visible through aperture in casing. Ensure the tooth is centered to the hole.
4. Using a depth micrometer, measure depth from sensor mating face to 'trigger' tooth. Record measurement.

5. Measure length of CKP sensor between tip and mounting face dimension 'A' Record dimension.
6. Subtract length of CKP sensor from sensor mating face to 'trigger' both dimension and record the resulting gap. The Air gap should be adjusted to 0.55 mm ± 0.2 (.022 in ±.0080) using available shims.
7. Fit shim to CKP sensor if required Align CKP sensor to casing fit bolt and tighten to 10 N.M (7 lb. Ft).
8. Connect CKP sensor multiplug.
9. Connect battery earth lead.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
