ITEM	DESCRIPTION
1	Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
2	Reluctor ring

The CKP sensor is located at the front of the engine, adjacent to the crankshaft pulley/vibration damper. The sensor is secured to two bosses on the engine front cover and secured with two bolts.

The CKP sensor is positioned adjacent to the reluctor ring, which is an integral part of the crankshaft pulley/vibration damper. The reluctor ring has 58 teeth and a section where 2 teeth are missing. The sensor is a Hall effect sensor which uses the missing teeth on the reluctor ring to determine the crankshaft position and rotational speed.

Special tools are required to obtain the correct alignment of the reluctor ring. The reluctor ring must be located in the correct orientation using a method described in the repair procedures. Refer to: Crankshaft Pulley (Removal and Installation).
