Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Inspection: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • If foreign matter such as metal shaving adhere to the CKP sensor, it can cause abnormal output from the sensor because of flux turbulence, which can negatively affect the engine control. Verify that there is no foreign matter 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 control, such as the ignition timing and fuel injection.
  • If the wiring harnesses or waterproof connectors are damaged, water penetrating the connector will cause a sensor malfunction. To prevent this, be careful not to damage wiring harnesses or waterproof connectors.
