Tools Required

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the serpentine belt(s) from the crankshaft pulley. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement in Engine Mechanical.
3. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in general information.
4. Remove the right front wheel and tire assembly. Refer to Suspension.
5. Remove the right inner fender access cover. Refer to Body.
6. Hold the flywheel with J 37096 Flywheel Holding Tool. Refer to Engine Mechanical.
7. Using 28 mm socket, remove the crankshaft harmonic balancer retaining bolt.
8. Remove the crankshaft harmonic balancer using special tool J 38197 Balancer Remover. Refer to Crankshaft Balancer Replacement in Engine Mechanical.
9. Remove the crankshaft position sensor shield (Do Not use a pry bar).
10. Disconnect the sensor electrical connector.
11. Remove 2 attaching bolts from the crankshaft position sensor.



12. Remove the crankshaft position sensor from block face.

1. Position the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to the block.
2. Install the bolts to hold the CKP sensor to the block face.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).




3. Install the crankshaft position sensor shield.
4. Connect the CKP sensor electrical connector.
5. Position the crankshaft harmonic balancer on the crankshaft.
6. Hold the flywheel with J 37096 Flywheel Holding Tool. Refer to Engine Mechanical.

Tighten
Using J 36660 Torque/Angle Meter, tighten the harmonic balancer bolt to 150 N·m +76 degrees (110 lb ft +76 degrees).

7. Install the right inner fender access cover. Refer to Body.
8. Install the right front wheel and tire assembly. Refer to Suspension.

Tighten
Tighten the wheel nuts to 140 N·m (104 lb ft).

9. Lower the vehicle.
10. Install the serpentine belt(s). Refer to Drive Belt Replacement in Engine Mechanical.

Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

11. Connect the negative battery cable.
