Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Removal/Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • If foreign matter such as metal shavings adhere to the CKP sensor, it can cause abnormal output from the sensor because of flux turbulence, which can negatively affect the engine control. Verify that there is no foreign matter on the CKP sensor when replacing.

  2. Lift up the vehicle.
  3. Perform the following procedure for easier access.
