Thread: What is that sensor on the front of the transaxle? Crank sensor?

Crap guys, I think I made a bone head move just now. While trying to remove the connector from that sensor, the damn plastic part where the connector plugs into slid off. I'm thinking it was already broken because it came off so easy. I did manage to slide that piece back on and plugged the connector back in. Have to drive to LAX from San Diego on Thursday. Hope this thing doesn't give me any trouble.

Pics? More elaborate description?

If it's a B14 or newer the crank position sensor is on the edge of the bellhousing below the thermostat housing. I think...
B13 and older don't have a crank position sensor.

Without this connected or working properly I think you'll get a CEL but no other major issues. The cam angle sensor does all the heavy lifting.

The other sensors attached to the transaxle are the reverse sensor (for the rear lights) and nuetral sensor (checked when entering idle configuration mode and maybe other things).

Yup it's a B14 and the sensor is on the front bellhousing, below the thermostat. Looks like i'm good though. No ses light. Kinda weird how this thing came apart

It will take 3-4 start ups for the light to come on

Did more than 4 start ups already. Still no light

You said you reconnected the plug even though the plastic is broken? You're not going to get any lights if it's still connected.
