• Q: How to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor (7X) on 2002 Buick Rendezvous?

  A: Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor (7X) replacement starts with ignition turn off followed by vehicle lift. Front-wheel drive owners must detach both the right front tire and wheel from the vehicle. The fuel exhaust system requires technicians to detach the Catalytic Converter from the Exhaust Manifold before repositioning it for all-wheel-drive vehicles. First disconnect the sensor electrical connector before unscrewing its attaching bolt and removing the sensor from engine access. Check the sensor for wear patterns and cracks or leakage before installation when you do not plan to replace it. Replace the o-ring before sensor installation by applying clean engine oil for lubrication. Secure the sensor attaching bolt at 11 n.m (97 lb in) torque while re-connecting the sensor's electrical connector. Install all components which were taken off during repair including the right tire and wheel unit for front-wheel-drive cars as well as the Catalytic Converter for all-wheel-drive models. Complete the vehicle lowering process followed by the ckp system variation learn procedure execution.
