Visual Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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. Remove the CKP sensor. (See CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
  2. Verify that there are no metal shavings on the sensor.
    • If there is a malfunction, remove any metal shavings that are adhering.
