| ITEM | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| 1 | Special tool |
| 2 | Reluctor ring |
The crankshaft reluctor ring is located on the rear of the crankshaft. It is pressed onto the crankshaft using a special tool, which also precisely aligns the reluctor ring for crankshaft position and timing.
The reluctor ring consists of 60 magnets minus 2 for Engine Control Module (ECM) crankshaft position reference and synchronization. The magnets cannot be seen on the reluctor ring, which therefore can only be positioned using the special tool.
If the reluctor ring is removed for any reason, then a new reluctor ring must be fitted.
