The crankshaft position sensor in a 2004 Chrysler Concorde is located on the passenger side of the transmission housing, just above the differential housing. This sensor is crucial for monitoring the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft, which is essential for proper engine timing and performance.

Crankshaft Sensor Details

The crankshaft sensor in the 2004 Chrysler Concorde serves several important functions:

  • Monitors the flywheel at the right side (passenger side) of the transaxle housing
  • Positioned just below the catalytic converter
  • Provides vital information to the engine control module (ECM)

To access the crankshaft position sensor, you may need to raise the vehicle and secure it on jack stands for better visibility and access to the underside of the car.

Replacement Process

When replacing the crankshaft position sensor:

1. Locate the sensor on the passenger side of the transmission housing

2. Unplug the electrical connector

3. Remove the mounting bolt

4. Pull the sensor straight out

5. Install the new sensor in reverse order

Always consult your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and torque specifications when replacing the crankshaft position sensor.

Camshaft Position Sensor

It's worth noting that the camshaft position sensor is located in a different position:

  • Found at the front of the engine head on the driver's side
  • For 2.7L engines, it's mounted in the front of the head
  • On some models, it may be on the driver's side belt cover

While not the focus of the query, understanding the location of both sensors can be helpful for comprehensive engine diagnostics and maintenance.
