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 Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
5. Remove the right inner fender access cover. Refer to Engine Splash Shield Replacement in Body Front End.

7. Remove the crankshaft position sensor shield (1) (Do Not use a pry bar).
8. Disconnect the sensor electrical connector.
9. Remove the attaching bolts from the crankshaft position sensor.



10. Remove the crankshaft position sensor from block face.

1. Position the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor to the block.

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.

2. Install the bolts to hold the CKP sensor to the block face.
