1. Remove the bolt which secures the crankshaft position sensor to the flywheel housing.
Remove the sensor and allow it to hang free under the
engine.
2. Remove the access grommet (for torque converter bolts) from the housing.
8. Fit the damper securing bolt (old one) to the crankshaft, hand-
tight only.
9. Rotate the crankshaft until the triangular arrow indent on
the drive plate is visible thro ugh the access hole; confirm
that the timing flat on ea ch camshaft is uppermost.
10. Fit the crankshaft setting peg 303 - 531 to the crankshaft
position sensor location.
1. Fit the crankshaft setting peg 303 - 531.
Position the crankshaft so that the setting peg engages
fully into the timing slot.
2. Fit and tighten the bolt to secure the setting peg.
11. Remove the damper securing bolt from the crankshaft.
12. Lower the vehicle on the ramp.
13. Fit the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530 to the A-Bank
camshafts, aligning the shafts slightly as necessary.
14. Remove the primary chain tens ioner. Refer to operation

RNING: Make sure
the vehicle is in NEUTRAL or PARK for vehicles with au tomatic transmission, NEUTRAL for
vehicles with manual transmissi on, and apply the parking brake. Failure to foll ow this instruction may result in personal
injury.
1. 1. Verify the customer concern.
2. 2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage, correct fitment, etc.

3. If an obvi
ous cause for an observed or
reported concern is found, correct th e cause (if possible) before proceeding
to the next step.
4. 4. If the concern is not visually evident, refer to the Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) index.
CAUTION: When probing connectors to take measurements in the course of the pinpoint tests, use the adaptor kit,
part number 3548-1358-00. Failure to follow this in struction may result in damage to the vehicle.
• NOTE: When performing electrical voltag e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.
