Removal and Installation

With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to JACKING & LIFTING article.

NOTE: The electrical connector is located in the engine compartment.

Disconnect the electrical connector.

NOTE: Care must be taken during the removal of the grommet to prevent damage. If the grommet is damaged, a new sensor may need to be installed, even though the sensor is functional in all other aspects.

Remove the grommet from the body.
- When removing the body grommet, rotate the grommet into a position which allows the use of a small screwdriver to release the tabs on the underside of the body grommet. These 2 tabs are located at right angles to the sensor wire.
