Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Removal/Installation: Installation

CAUTION:

When foreign material such as an iron chip is on the CKP sensor, it can cause abnormal output from the sensor because of flux turbulence and adversely affect the engine control. Be sure there is no foreign material on the CKP sensor when replacing.

Perform the following procedure so that piston No. 1 is at the top dead center.
1. Remove the front drive shaft (RH). (See FRONT DRIVE SHAFT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [L3, L3 WITH TC] ).
2. Remove the cylinder block lower blind plug and install the SST .
3. Turn the crankshaft pulley to the clockwise until it stops.
Install the CKP sensor to the CKP sensor installer.
