Clean the area around the CMP sensor before
removal to avoid debris from entering the
engine.
3 Remove the CMP sensor attaching bolt (1).
4 Remove the CMP sensor (2) by first twisting the sensor to release it, and then pulling it away from the
front engine cover to remove it.

Figure 6C1-3 – 8
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the camshaft position (CMP) sensor is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Lubricate the CMP sensor O-ring with clean engine oil.
2 Reinstall the CMP sensor by pushing in on the sensor to engage the sensor O-ring in the front engine cover.

Ensure the CMP sensor is fully seated before
tightening the attaching bolt to the specified
torque.
3 Reinstall the CMP sensor bolt and tighten to the correct torque specification. Camshaft position sensor attaching bolt
torque specification ...................................8.0 – 12.0 Nm
4 Road test the vehicle and check for correct operation, taking particular note there is no engine oil leak from the CMP sensor.
2.5 Crankshaft Position Sensor
Remove
1 Turn the ignition switch off.
2 Raise the front of the vehicle and support on safety stands, refer to 0A General Information for location of the jacking points.

Test

To prevent component and damage use
connector test adaptor kit J 35616-A.
Resistance Check

1 Connect a digital ohmmeter using connector test adaptor kit J 35616-A to the crankshaft position (CKP)
sensor.
2 Measure the resistance across terminals 1 and 2.
3 Compare the reading against the specification.
CKP sensor resistance @ 20°C ................ 850 – 1040 Ω
4 If the resistance is not within specification, replace the
CKP sensor.
Figure 6C1-3 – 11
Reinstall
Reinstallation of the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Lubricate the CKP sensor O-ring with clean engine oil.
2 Reinstall the CKP sensor by pushing down on the sensor to engage the sensor O-ring in the engine block.

Ensure the CKP sensor is fully seated before
tightening the attaching bolt to the specified
torque.
3 Reinstall the CKP sensor bolt and tighten to the correct torque specification. Crankshaft position sensor attaching bolt
torque specification ...................................8.0 – 12.0 Nm

Clean the area around the ECT before
removal to avoid debris from entering the
engine.
5 Remove the ECT sensor (1). NOTE
If coolant leaks from the cylinder head as the
sensor is removed, screw the sensor back into
the cylinder head and drain more coolant from
the cooling system.
6 If required, test the ECT sensor, refer to the Test in this Section.
Figure 6C1-3 – 13
Test

To prevent component damage, use
connector test adaptor kit J 35616-A.
Resistance Check
1 Suspend the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and a suitable thermometer in a container of 50/50 DEX- COOL® long life coolant or equivalent and water.
NOTE
Neither the ECT sensor or thermometer should
rest on the bottom of the container due to an
uneven concentration of heat at this point when
the container is heated.
2 Connect a digital ohmmeter using connector test adaptor kit J 35616-A to the ECT sensor.
3 Measure the resistance across terminals 1 and 2.
4 W hilst heating the container, observe the resistance values as the temperature increases and compare the
temperature / resistance change to the specifications.

following:
1 Tighten the ECT sensor to the correct torque specification.
Engine coolant temperature sensor
torque specification ............................................22.0 Nm
2 Refill the cooling system, refer to 6B1 Engine Cooling – V6.
3 Road test the vehicle and check for correct operation, taking particular note there is no coolant leakage.
2.7 Engine Control Module
Service of the engine control module (ECM) should normally consist of either replacement or ECM programming. If the
diagnostic procedures call for the ECM to be replaced, it should be first checked to ensure it is the correct part. If it is,
replace the faulty ECM.

Do not touch the ECM connector pins as
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage may
result.

When removing or reinstalling the ECM wiring
harness connector/s, ensure the ignition
switch is in the OFF position and the battery
has been disconnected. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the ECM and / or
associated componentry.
Disconnection of the battery affects certain
vehicle electronic systems. Refer to 6D1-3
Battery - V6 before disconnecting the battery.
