How to Replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor on the X-Trail?

[MacFinn]

The replacement method for the crankshaft position sensor on the X-Trail is as follows: 1. During disassembly, remove the sensor wiring harness from the main wiring harness near the rear of the intake manifold. 2. Remove the nut securing the crankshaft position sensor wire clamp on the fuel pipe mounting bolt, then remove the crankshaft position sensor mounting bolt. 3. Remove the crankshaft position sensor and the clamp for the crankshaft position sensor wiring harness. 4. During installation, insert the protrusion of the crankshaft position sensor into the hole in the transmission housing to ensure the end face is flush. 5. Install and tighten the two mounting bolts of the crankshaft position sensor with a torque of 17-21 N·m. The two bolts securing the crankshaft position sensor to the transmission are specially designed to ensure the correct gap between the sensor and the flywheel. Do not use other bolts to replace these special bolts. 6. Connect the wiring harness plug to the crankshaft position sensor, install the sensor wiring harness clamp, attach the clamp to the fuel pipe mounting bolt, and tighten the clamp's mounting nut.
