Where is the crankshaft sensor located on the X-Trail?

[McOmar]

The crankshaft position sensor on the X-Trail is installed near the exhaust manifold. As one of the most critical sensors in the engine's electronic control system, it provides signals for ignition timing, ignition advance angle, and confirms crankshaft position. It detects piston top dead center, crankshaft rotation angle, and engine speed. The removal procedure for the crankshaft position sensor is as follows: 1. During disassembly, disconnect the sensor wiring harness from the main harness near the rear of the intake manifold; 2. Remove the nut securing the crankshaft position sensor wire clamp on the oil pipe mounting bolt, then remove the crankshaft position sensor mounting bolt; 3. Detach the crankshaft position sensor and remove the clamp securing its wiring harness.
