Only has one crankshaft position sensor ,an cam sensors . To change the crank sensor u would have to pull the starter ,located above starter .

After a crank sensor replacement a
Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn has to be done !
Important: The crankshaft position (CKP) system variation learn procedure is required when the following service procedures have been performed, regardless of whether DTC P0315 is set:
?€¢
Engine replacement

?€¢
Engine control module (ECM) replacement

?€¢
Crankshaft damper replacement

?€¢
Crankshaft replacement

?€¢
CKP sensor replacement

?€¢
Any engine repairs which disturb the crankshaft to CKP sensor relationship

Important: The scan tool monitors certain component signals to determine if all the conditions are met to continue with the CKP system variation learn procedure. The scan tool only displays the condition that inhibits the procedure. The scan tool monitors the following components:
?€¢
CKP sensor activity--If there is a CKP sensor condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set.

?€¢
Camshaft position (CMP) signal activity--If there is a CMP signal condition, refer to the applicable DTC that set.

?€¢
Engine coolant temperature (ECT)--If the engine coolant temperature is not warm enough, idle the engine until the engine coolant temperature reaches the correct temperature.

They are called a reluctor wheel and some are heated and pressed on, others are bolted on or held in place with dowel pins and then some fit on keyways. They attach to the crankshaft and rotate were as the sensor is attached to the housing and is stationary.

P0315 - Crankshaft Position System Variation Not Learned

Possible causes- Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor harness is open or shorted
- Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Crankshaft Position (CKP)
- Damaged crankshaft pulse wheel teeth. Tech notes Visual inspection of the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and crankshaft pulse wheel teeth for damage. If crankshaft teethes are OK, replaced the Crankshaft Position sensor

crankshaft position sensor location for 3.3 V6 engine is mounted at the rear of the engine on transmission bellhousing, the 3.5 V6 engine crankshaft sensor located at front of the engine on the aluminum oil pan section below crankshaft pulley.replace the crankshaft position sensor remove heat shield disconnect the electrical connector the remove sensor retaining bolt then remove crankshaft sensor.after replacing crankshaft sensor you need to erase code if check light come back on.

The crankshaft sensor is located on the driver side of the vehicle, above the differential housing. The bottom of the sensor sits above the drive plate.
Drivers side just above oil pan just behind differential

1. Disconnect the negative and positive battery cable.
2. Remove the battery.
3. Unlock and disconnect electrical connector from crankshaft position sensor.
4. Remove sensor mounting screw. Remove sensor

You will need a wiring diagram to know
where to start testing

You don't replace the sensor until you
know it is bad and have tested it

• • • The sensor is mounted in a fixed position in the engine block. The tip of the sensor protrudes into the crankcase at a distance of 0.05 plus or minus 0.02 inch from the crankshaft.
    • A crankshaft adjusting tool may be used to check these rings
    place the tool on the pulley extension surface and rotate the tool around the pulley.
  • If any blade touches the tool, replace the pulley.
• Inspect the trigger wheel behind the crankshaft pulley and the sensor for damage.
• If the engine misfires all the time or on acceleration only, test the following components:
  • Engine compression.
  • Spark plugs.
  • Spark plug wires.
  • Ignition coils test for firing voltage with a test spark plug.
  • Crankshaft sensor.
  • Fuel injectors on multiport and sequential fuel injection systems. To remove the crank sensor

• Disconnect the wiring harness.
• Unbolt the sensor mounting bolt.

If the crankshaft timing sensor or the camshaft reference sensor is removed, follow this procedure when the sensor is replaced:

• Thoroughly clean the sensor tip and install a new spacer on the sensor tip. New sensors should be supplied with the spacer installed.

Spacer on crankshaft timing sensor and camshaft position sensor.

• Install the sensor until the spacer lightly touches the sensor ring, and tighten the sensor mounting bolt 105 in.lb.

hope this was what you needed.....

on 2.2 models remove starter. disconnect 7x crankshaft position sensor wiring harness.remove sensor mounting bolt, with draw sensor, replace o ring and lightly lubricate it with oil.... on 6 cylinder models,..remove the drive belt, jack up car, remove crankshaft pulley. remove sensor bolt and pull out.( noting the wiring harness for installation).
