Google keywords: crankshaft position sensor 5vz tacoma

This is for a Rav4, but it should be the same spot, as it's the 5vzfe engine, I could be wrong.

The FSM isn't much help. The sensor is apparently low on the front of the engine block, because you have to remove the engine under cover (shield thingie) to get to it.

Here (attached) is the 2003 5VZ crankshaft position sensor replacement section from the FSM. The cryptic illustration is the only graphic the FSM provides for the sensor's location.

Thank you, was hoping you would reply, down in southern Baja and I got a po335 code was trying to remember how all that is put together down there from when I did the timing belt about 20k ago and neglected to bring my FSM. Man that is a pretty "cryptic illustration" hoping I don't have to pull the crank pulley to remove the lower cover, but I think I do.
Muchas gracias, Bob

Thanks Man,
you sure can see it there, and the pulley/dampener has to come off before that lower cover can come off, looks like I might be wrenchin in the sand!
Thanks again, Bob

The crankshaft angle sensor is a little bit buried under some brackets. Here is a guide that will give you an idea of what you are in for when doing the job.

Here is some diagrams for both 4 and 6 cylinder engines (below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken

What are the symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensor?

Where is my crankshaft sensor located?

The Crankshaft Position sensor is normally located in the timing cover or on the side of the block with a cylindrical portion that inserts into the block. Will a malfunctioning Cam or Crank Sensor illuminate the check engine light or affect vehicle operation?

Can I change my crankshaft position sensor myself?

While the crankshaft position sensor is a pretty sophisticated piece of equipment, and you might be intimidated by the idea of replacing it yourself, you probably shouldn't be. With a good set of instructions, the right tools, and some effort, you can replace your crankshaft sensor yourself.
