Crankshaft Position Sensor

Starting the crankshaft position sensor removal requires disconnecting the car battery negative cable followed by engine under cover sub-assembly No.1 removal for 4WD and Pre-Runner versions. You need to remove the fan along with the generator V belt and the compressor and magnetic clutch must be separated before you take out the idle pulley assembly with bracket by disassembling its 5 bolts. To proceed with the crankshaft position sensor removal, disconnect both the connector and 2 wire harness clamps followed by unbolting the component before removing it from position. To install the crankshaft position sensor use light engine oil on its O-ring then attach it with the bolt and torque it to 8.5 N.m (87 kgf.cm, 75 in.lbf) making sure the O-ring stays free of damage or hindrances. Connect the crankshaft position sensor connector and the 2 wire harness clamps, then reinstall the idle pulley assembly with bracket, uniformly tightening the 5 bolts in the specified sequence to 21 N.m (214 kgf.cm, 16 ft.lbf) for bolt A and 43 N.m (438 kgf.cm, 32 ft.lbf) for bolts B and C. Proceed to install the compressor and magnetic clutch, followed by the fan and generator V belt, then the engine under cover sub-assembly No.1 for 4WD and Pre-Runner models, and finally connect the cable to the negative battery terminal, torquing it to 3.9 N.m (40 kgf.cm, 35 in.lbf).

Users need to start Crankshaft Position Sensor removal for the 2TR-FE engine control system by disconnecting the negative battery cable. For 4WD and Pre-Runner models you need to remove engine under cover sub-assembly No.1. The first step involves removing the fan and generator V belt (with air-conditioning) as well as separating the compressor and magnetic clutch (with air-conditioning). Users should extract the idle pulley assembly with bracket (with air conditioning) by unfastening its 5 bolts in this step. To remove the crankshaft position sensor start by disconnecting its connector before removing two wire harness clamps and unbolting it from the engine block before extraction.

Apply a light coat of engine oil.

Connect the cable to the negative battery terminal, torquing it to 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf).

Remove the Fan & Generator V Belt (with air conditioning) and separate the compressor from the magnetic clutch (with air conditioning).

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal.
