2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 Crankshaft

4.7L V-8
Engine speed and crankshaft position are provided
through the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor. The
sensor generates pulses that are the input sent to the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM interprets
the sensor input to determine the crankshaft position.
The PCM then uses this position, along with other
inputs, to determine injector sequence and ignition
timing.
The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an
internal magnet. It is also sensitive to steel within a
certain distance from it.
A tonewheel (1) is bolted to the engine crankshaft.
This tonewheel has sets of notches (2) at its outer
edge.
The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they
pass under the sensor. The pulses are the input to the
PCM.

3.7L V-6
1. Clean out machined hole in engine block.
2. Apply a small amount of engine oil to sensor O-ring
(3).
3. Install sensor into engine block with a slight rocking
and twisting action.
CAUTION: Before tightening sensor mounting bolt,
be sure sensor is completely flush to cylinder
block. If sensor is not flush, damage to sensor
mounting tang may result.
4. Install mounting bolt and tighten to 28 Nꞏm (21 ft.
lbs.) torque.
5. Connect electrical connector to sensor.
6. Lower vehicle.

WARNING: The fuel injection pump supplies extremely high fuel pressure toeach individual injector
through the high-pressure lines. Fuel under this amount of pressure can penetrate the skin and cause per-
sonal injury. Wear safety goggles and adequate protective clothing. Do not loosen fuel fittings while engine
is running.
WARNING: Engine may start while cranking starter motor.
DRAINING FUEL TANK - DIESEL
Due to a one-way check valve installed into the fuel fill opening fitting atthe tank, the tank cannot be drained con-
ventionally at the fill cap.
1. Raise vehicle.
2. If vehicle is equipped with 4 doors and a 6 foot (short) box, remove left-rear tire/wheel.
3. Thoroughly clean area at top of fuel tank around fuel tank module.
4. Loosen clamp and disconnect rubber fuel fill hose at tank.
5. Drain fuel tank by attaching drain hose from an approved diesel fuel draining station to the fuel fill fitting of tank.

SENSOR-CAMSHAFT POSITION
DESCRIPTION
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.9L diesel engine is located below the fuel injection pump. It is bolted
to the back of the timing gear housing.
OPERATION
The diesel Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) contains
a hall effect device. A rotating target wheel (tone-
wheel) for the CMP is located on the camshaft gear.
This hall effect device detects holes located on the
back side of the camshaft gear. As the camshaft gear
rotates, the holes pass the tip of the CMP.
When the leading edge of the hole passes the tip of
the CMP, the following occurs: The interruption of
magnetic field causes the voltage to switch high
resulting in a signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the hole passes the tip of
the CMP, the following occurs: The change of the
magnetic field causes the signal voltage to switch low
to 0 volts.
The CMP (1) provides a signal to the Engine Control
Module (ECM) at all times when the engine is running.
TheECMusestheCMPinformationprimarilyon
engine start-up. Once the engine is running, the ECM
uses the CMP as a backup sensor for engine speed.
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is the primary
engine speed indicator for the engine after the engine
is running.
REMOVAL
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.9L die-
sel engine is located (1) below the fuel injection pump.
It is bolted to the back of the timing gear housing (7).
1. Disconnect electrical connector at CMP sensor.
2. Remove sensor mounting bolt (6).
3. Carefully twist and pull the sensor from timing gear
housing.
4. Check condition of sensor O-ring.

SENSOR-CRANKSHAFT POSITION
DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) on the diesel engine is attached at thefront/leftsideoftheenginenextto
the engine harmonic balancer (crankshaft damper).
OPERATION
The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) (5) is the pri-
mary engine speed indicator for the engine after the
engine is running.
The CKP contains a hall effect device. A rotating,
notched target wheel (tonewheel) for the CKP is
located behind the engine harmonic balancer (2). This
hall effect device detects notches located on the tone-
wheel. As the tonewheel rotates, the notches pass the
tip of the CKP.
When the leading edge of the tonewheel notch passes
the tip of the CKP, the following occurs: The interrup-
tion of magnetic field causes the voltage to switch
high resulting in a signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the tonewheel notch passes
the tip of the CKP, the following occurs: The change of
the magnetic field causes the signal voltage to switch
lowto0volts.
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) also provides a
signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM) at all times
when the engine is running. The ECM uses this CMP
information primarily on engine start-up. Once the
engine is running, the ECM uses the CMP as a
backup sensor for engine speed.
