Where is the crankshaft position/crank angle sensor located on a 2005 kia sedona

Hi, at the front of the crankshaft. if its near time for the timing belt, you want to replace it along with any pullies, tensioner and water pump


The crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the engine near the crankshaft.

Operation

The crankshaft position sensor is a Hall-Effect sensor that senses the crank angle (piston position) of each cylinder and converts it into a pulse signal. The signal from the sensor is relayed to the ECM to indicate engine rpm and the position of the crankshaft.

Removal & Installation

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the connector from the sensor.
3. Remove the bolt that retains the sensor in place.
4. Remove the sensor from its mounting. To install:
   
   1. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure.
   2. Clearance between the sensor and the sensor wheel should be 0.020-0.059 inch. 2002-2005
      
      1. Properly connect the scan tool.
      2. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
      3. Be sure the idle position switch is ON.
      4. Specifications are as follows:
