Model: Honda CR-V MK 3 - Years 2007-2012
Part: Crankshaft position sensor

Do you have a problem with the engine RPM reading? Is the issue the camshaft position sensor? No problem, I will explain in small steps how to replace it. Start by opening the engine bay of your car. Using a socket wrench, remove the air filter box. Then, with pliers, approach the cylinder head and slightly lower down, you will find a blue connector; disconnect it to access the part to be replaced. After removing the connector, proceed to remove the sensor in the same manner. Take the new part and insert it in place of the old one, using the pliers to assist. Then reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
