Eccentric Shaft Position Sensor Removal/Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8 and 2004 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • When replacing the eccentric shaft position sensor, make sure there is no foreign material on it such as metal shavings. If it is installed with foreign material, the sensor output signal will malfunction resulting from fluctuation in magnetic flux and cause a deterioration in engine control.
  1. Disconnect the eccentric shaft position sensor connector.
  2. Remove the eccentric shaft position sensor installation bolt and remove the eccentric shaft position sensor.
  3. Install in the reverse order of removal.
