CPS removal/replacement question

Is it just a removal/replacement of the sensor or is their timing issues and procedures that need to be adhered to?

Thumbs up

Yes, it is just remove the old failed CPS and install the new CPS. Of course, it is always good practice to disconnect the neg battery cable when working with sensors.

*Install Instructions:
To fix it, you’re going to need a 10mm wrench (or socket with a short 3" extension. A flathead screwdriver and a replacement CPS.

*Locate the CPS:
It is on the passenger side of the engine block. Accessible from under the truck, and located about the 10 o'clock position behind the crankshaft front pulley. Reach up and unplug the wiring harness, remove the 10mm bolt, and GENTLY pry the bad CPS out with the flat screwdriver.

Installation is just the reverse...***but a good idea to add dielectric grease to the plug.

Hope this helps...

Smile CPS Install

Don't forget to put a little engine oil or O-ring Lube on the CPS o-ring. Helps w/ installation & prevents tearing of the o-ring.
