How to remove and install the CKP sensor on Ford Escape?

For the 2.0L four-cylinder models, the first thing you want to do is take off the exhaust manifold after you have disconnected the cable from the negative batter terminal. The CKP sensor can be found at the front end of the engine near the flywheel end of the block and to remove the CKP sensor, you need to first remove the electrical connector, thereafter, loosen the CKP sensor mounting bolt. It is the process of fixing that is opposite to that of removing, with the additional requirement that the mounting bolt must be tightened to the required degree of turn. Upon charging the battery, the PCM requires certain idle and fuel trim for it to perform optimally, and this takes a while. To perform this modification on your V6 models; drain the battery by removing the negative terminal, remove the right front wheel lug nuts, lift the car on a secure jack stand, remove the right front wheel, and lower the right splash shield. CKP sensor can be found near the crankshaft pulley: disconnect the sensor's electrical connector, undo the sensor mounting bolt and, then, remove the sensor. Disassembly is done in a reverse sequence to how it is done, and the mounting bolt is tightened to the required torque, while the PCM requires an idle and fuel trim learning process after detachment and reconnection of the battery. For the 2.3L four-cylinder engine, turn off the ignition by removing the negative terminal of the battery, find the CKP sensor which is located near the crankshaft pulley and remove the electrical connection from the sensor. The mounting bolts of the CKP sensor should be loosened and at TDC set the engine, with the help of a special timing pin and crankshaft pulley alignment tool. Bolt the new CKP sensor to the block with the mounting bolts but do not firmly fasten them, align the sensor using the alignment tool, and then tighten a proper amount. Also, it should be pointed out that whenever the CKP sensor is removed in the process of the repair it should be replaced with a new one since the required alignment tool is supplied only with a new sensor.

Ford Escape Crankshaft Position Sensor

Ford Escape is a relatively modern car model which contains the Crankshaft Position Sensor as one of the essential electronic systems that tracks the crankshaft's position and Its rotational speed. It relays this information to the power train control module so that the fuel injectors as well as the igniters can give the appropriate levels of fuel injection and ignition timing respectively, in order to enhance the performance of the engine in the vehicle. A bad Crankshaft Position Sensor causes starting problems or even stalling of the vehicle's engine. Several types of Crankshaft Position Sensors have been used in Ford Escape including the inductive, Hall Effect, magnetoresistive, and the optical sensors. Inductive sensors do not have an active role while the Hall and magnetoresistive sensors are capable of sensing static magnetic fields. Optical sensors are accurate for detection but they have a high risk of fouling. The only key difference that can be identified among the above-mentioned types of sensors is the way they detect a particular variable and how sensitive they are to factors in the environment, and as mentioned, most of the modern sensors developed can be sealed against the fluid damage.

We provide a wide range of Ford Escape Crankshaft Position Sensor at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Escape Crankshaft Position Sensor, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
