How to replace crankshaft sensor on a 2008 ford edge

In the side of the engine block behind the left side catayltic converter .

1. Remove the LH catalytic converter.

Hi Rusty, There's two links below showing the position of 2005 Ford Explorer Crankshaft Position Sensor and the 2008 ford edge camshaft sensor location. It seems like they're all in the same position, I hope this helps.....CHEERS

2008 ford edge camshaft sensor location

Run basic diagnostics. Spark? Correct fuel pressure? Compression?

OSS? Are you refering to an oxygen sensor? If so,there will be 4 sensors and you need to determine which sensor needs replacement. Otherwise, it just screws into the exhaust pipe with one connector to disconnect

2009 Ford Flex 2wd rear wheel bearing replacement here you go good luck

• location is normally on lower pulley or on side of crankshaft on block

Locate the cam sensor wiring harness from underneath the vehicle at the front of the engine block near the crankshaft pulley.

The Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor is a permanent magnet output coil device that monitors the speed and position of the crankshaft. A reluctor is attached directly to the crankshaft, and is used to generate a constant signal as it passes the CKP sensor magnetic coil. The CKP Sensor utilizes system voltage (12 volts DC), or reference voltage (5 volts DC) to generate a digital output signal to the PCM that is based upon a 0.5 volt AC reference. The alternating magnetic field is used by the sensor output electronics to produce a digital pulse. The CKP sensor returns a digital ON/OFF signal pulse during each revolution of the crankshaft, with a momentary signal interrupt for the top dead center (TDC) position of the #1 cylinder. The Pulse Width Modulation pattern is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to calculate ignition timing, fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics, and the tachometer display

My 2008 Ford Edge had the same error with the same issue - no power in drive, will only go in reverse. My Ford Dealer is replacing a speed sensor and a turbine sensor. They also recommended a transmission flush and re-programming. Total estimate is 4-5 hours plus parts - about $1,000.
