Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual / Engine / Engine Assembly / Crank, Balancer / Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Removal/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.
Do not assemble the CKP sensor or change the installation position using any method other than the following. Otherwise, it could negatively affect engine controls, such as the ignition timing and fuel injection.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable..

2. Lift up the vehicle.

3. Perform the following procedure for easier access.

a. Remove the service hole cover (installed to front under cover No.2) used to remove the oil filter..
