Required tools:
* New crankshaft sensor
* 10 mm socket wrench
* Torque wrench
* Rags
Instructions:
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal: This will ensure safety and prevent accidental operation of electrical systems.
2. Raise and Secure the Vehicle: Use a jack and stands to raise the vehicle safely.
3. Locate the crankshaft sensor: The crankshaft sensor is usually located at the bottom of the engine, near the oil pan. It is a small metal cylinder with a wire.
4. Disconnect the sensor connector: Press the tab on the connector and disconnect it from the sensor.
5. Remove the sensor mounting bolt: Using a 10mm socket wrench, remove the bolt securing the crankshaft sensor to the engine block.
6. Pull out the old sensor: Pull the old sensor out of its seat.
7. Clean the sensor seat: Use a clean rag to clean the sensor seat of dirt and debris.
8. Install the new crankshaft sensor: Insert the new sensor into the seat and tighten it with the mounting bolt. Tighten the bolt with a torque wrench to 10 Nm.
9. Connect the sensor connector: Push the sensor connector into place until it clicks into place.
10. Lower the vehicle: Remove the stands and lower the vehicle to the ground.
11. Connect the negative terminal of the battery: Connect the negative terminal of the battery.
12. Start the engine: Start the engine and check that it runs properly.
Adviсe:
*Use only a new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) crankshaft sensor or a high quality equivalent.
* Make sure the sensor seat is clean and undamaged, as dirt and damage can cause the sensor to malfunction.
* When tightening the sensor mounting bolt, observe the specified tightening torque. Over-tightening or under-tightening the bolt can damage the sensor or seat.
*If the engine still does not start after replacing the sensor, check for other possible causes such as fuel or spark failure.
