2001 Hyundai Sonata 2.7L Engine P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement Guide
I'm experiencing ECU fault code P0335 related to the crankshaft position sensor on my 2001 Hyundai Sante Fe (G6BA engine). I've already purchased a new sensor, but access is extremely limited. The sensor appears to be shielded by components that are difficult to remove or reach. I'm seeking advice on how to properly locate the sensor and whether it's necessary to remove any obstructions to safely replace it. Any detailed guidance or step-by-step instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Based on my experience with the G6BA engine (2000-2010 models), the crankshaft position sensor is located near the top of the engine block, behind the timing cover. For better access and visibility during replacement, you may need to remove the upper intake manifold or related components.
