To replace, lift the vehicle, disconnect the electrical connector-one that has a release tab arranged at the terminal end, if accompanied with the wiring harness clip, clip it off; if not, skip this step, remove the mounting bolt and then the sensor, installation in reverse order, after replacing the sensor perform cam/crank variation learn procedure using scan tool. For 3.5L, on the electrical connector-unlock it and remove it; remove the mounting bolt and then the sensor; if reusing the old sensor, make sure you put back the spacer or if getting a new sensor, you should check and confirm if a new spacer is included; then install the sensor and do the cam/crank variation learn. For the 3.6L engine, there is need to; first remove an engine cover secondly, detach the negative terminal of the battery thirdly, in order to get to the CMP sensor, there is need to perhaps detach the upper intake manifold. Remove the electrical connector, unscrew the fastener and pull the sensor out of the valve cover, clean the threads of the fastener, examine the O-ring and the seal of the sensor, after which screw the sensor in place and go through the cam/crank variation learn.
