While holding the sensor in this position, and install
and tighten the retaining bolt to 11.9 N´m (105 in.
lbs.) torque.
(2) Raise and support vehicle.
(3) Connect crankshaft position sensor electrical
connector to the wiring harness connector.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect camshaft position sensor electrical
connector from the wiring harness connector (Fig. 5).
(2) Remove bolt holding sensor (Fig. 6).There is a
hole in the bracket for tool access to the sensor
bolt.
(3) Rotate sensor away from block (Fig. 7).
(4) Pull sensor up out of the chain case cover.Do
not pull on the sensor lead.There is an O-ring on
the sensor case. The O-ring may make removal diffi-
cult. A light tap to top of sensor prior to removal may
reduce force needed for removal.
INSTALLATION
If the removed sensor is reinstalled, clean off
the old spacer on the sensor face. A NEW
SPACER must be attached to the face beforeinstallation.Inspect O-ring for damage, replace if
necessary. If the sensor is being replaced, confirm
that the paper spacer is attached to the face and O-
ring is positioned in groove of the new sensor (Fig. 8).
(1) Apply a couple drops of clean engine oil to the
O-ring prior to installation.
(2) Install sensor in the chain case cover and
rotate into position.
(3) Push sensor down until contact is made with
the camshaft gear. While holding the sensor in this
position, install and tighten the retaining bolt 14
N´m (125 in. lbs.) torque.
(4) Connect camshaft position sensor electrical
connector to harness connector.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
IGNITION INTERLOCK
All vehicles equipped with automatic transaxles
have an interlock system. The system prevents shift-
ing the vehicle out of Park unless the ignition lock
cylinder is in the Off, Run or Start position. In addi-
tion, the operator cannot rotate the key to the lock
position unless the shifter is in the park position. On
vehicles equipped with floor shift refer to Group 21 -
Transaxle for Automatic Transmission Shifter/Igni-
tion Interlock.
LOCK KEY CYLINDER
The lock cylinder is inserted in the end of the
housing opposite the ignition switch. The ignition key
rotates the cylinder to 5 different detents (Fig. 1):
²Accessory
²Off (lock)
²Unlock
²On/Run
²Start
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch attaches to the lock cylinder
housing on the end opposite the lock cylinder (Fig. 2).
For ignition switch terminal and circuit identifica-
tion, refer to Group 8W, Wiring Diagrams.
