Does anyone know where the Crankshaft Position Sensor is located on a 2010 3.0? I believe it's the cause of a P0017 code and I have a replacement sensor but for the live of me I cannot locate it on the engine. Thanks for any help.
You'd think. I crawled around, under and over that engine for nearly 45 minutes yesterday and couldn't find it. I'll try again today.Rit said:With the new part in your hand, it seems like if you crawl under there, it should be fairly obvious, right ?
Sorry ! :banghead: Maybe yours fell off - hence the CEL ! LOLbruker said:You'd think. I crawled around, under and over that engine for nearly 45 minutes yesterday and couldn't find it. I'll try again today.

top of the belt goes over pulleys so it it is roughly horizontal at the top.
I'm pretty sure those are the camshaft sensors, four of them.Iliketerrain said:The sensors are above the top of the serpentine belt; the shop manual seems to show them 3-4" above. The

I guess you weren't wearing your x-ray vision goggles !bruker said:So it's behind the heat shield (item #3) !
Access is from underneath. Is yours AWD?bruker said:Access from below or through wheel well?
Ok. Good luck.bruker said:I had it scanned at AutoZone and it came back as a P0017 and a P0420. The P0420 is a catalyst efficiency low bank 1 and the P0017 is a CKP/CMP misalignment. I'm going out on a limb and assuming that the P017 is caused by the P0420. I've already tried replacing the cam position sensors and that did not help so now I'm going to try the crank sensor. For around $30 total for the sensors I might be able to avoid a larger bill at the garage.
