• Q: How to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor on 2004 Cadillac Seville?

  A: The starting point for Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor replacement requires elevating the vehicle then supporting it. Start by taking off the air deflector alongside the oil filter adaptor before disconnecting both electrical connectors of the crankshaft position sensor. Next you should discard the bolt that holds the crankshaft sensor and never forget to unplug the crankshaft sensor before continuing. The installer must examine the O-ring around the crankshaft sensor for deterioration before installing new parts. Clean engine oil should be applied to the O-ring before the crankshaft sensor installation along with the retaining bolt which needs a 10 Nm (89 lb in) torque setting. After reattaching the crankshaft position sensor connector you must reinstall the oil filter adaptor and the air deflector. Check for oil leaks by running the engine while lowering the vehicle then rechecking the area surrounding the crankshaft sensor. Complete the CKP System Variation Learn Procedure as the last step.
