From underneath is the only way to reach it. Pop the 10mm bolt out (I leave the belt in place and use a small extension on the socket), then use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the sensor loose. Mid afternoon on the side of the road it takes 10 minutes....probably a few minutes longer at night, and way longer without a flashlight.

Sounds like you're having similar trouble as mine, but I had no warning. Mine just died 2.5hrs from home and the dealer is replacing the ICP today (after I replaced the CPS), so I will let you know, or you could read my thread "My 2002 PSD Died". I hope you get it figured it.

How much is the ICP job going to cost?

I don't know on the cost yet. No figures have even been discussed. Mine is still under the engine & emmisions warranty. Check your owners manual for the warranty book. It's not 100k, or at least not my '02.

Because I have seen it, and have worked after it's happened...please make sure you have a road spotter with you with a flashlight and or a flare...or better yet..have a vehicle or few behind your rig to ensure should someone come along with their head up their six they plow into something other than your rig.

Thanks, but it's already in the shop. Good advice none the less.
