. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

. Locate the Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor and disconnect the connector. This may involve removing other items under the hood for access.

. Remove CKP Sensor, using a 10mm socket and a 1/4-inch drive ratchet wrench.

. Wipe the inside of the sensor's hole with a rag.

. Lightly coat the O-ring on the new sensor (e.g., BDW/Intermotor CSS641, Advance Auto Parts, Lifetime Warranty) with engine oil.

. Install new sensor, tighten 10mm mounting bolt, reattach connector, and reattach negative battery cable.

. Clear codes in the ECM, using a code reader.
