On Optima & Magentis (Canadian) (2.7L), Rio and Spectra, CKP sensor is located in transaxle bellhousing. On Optima & Magentis (Canadian) (2.4L) and Sedona, CKP sensor is located under timing belt cover, near crankshaft pulley. On Sportage, CKP sensor is located on left side of transmission bellhousing.
