WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Failure to properly align the crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring may result in component damage and effect OBD II system performance.

Important:  The reluctor ring is shaped like a dish.

The dish must face the engine front cover. Failure to do so will damage the front cover and the reluctor ring.
