Video tutorial

In this video, learn how to locate the crankshaft position sensor on the Opel/Vauxhall Movano. You need to get underneath the van and search for it because it is really difficult to find and very complicated to access.

Once you find the sensor, which is located near that metal plate with the engraved numbers shown in the video, it is quite challenging to get your hand or a pair of pliers in there to disconnect the electrical connector. In the comments, many people reported having great difficulty performing this operation, which became necessary due to a red warning light flashing on the dashboard.

In some cases, starting the vehicle was completely prevented due to the failure of this sensor.

How to reset the Service light on a 2019 Jeep Renegade?

The Service light, depicted as a yellow spanner, illuminates as scheduled to remind the driver that it is time for scheduled maintenance. This means that the set mileage has been reached, or the expected time has passed. The procedure involves turning on the instrument cluster, pressing the accelerator three times, and then turning off the ignition. After this, keep the brake pressed, turn the ignition back on, and then turn it off again. Upon the next ignition, you will notice that the light has been reset.
