• Reduced system reliability due to sensor wear or damage

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 601-735 sensor on a Lincoln MKC, ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected to prevent electrical shorts. Carefully disconnect the existing sensor's connector, noting the orientation of the black rectangular connector with 18 male pins. Align the new sensor connector properly before securing it to avoid bent pins or poor contact. Since the wire harness is not included, verify the existing wiring is intact and free of damage before installation. After installation, perform a system check to confirm proper sensor operation and clear any diagnostic trouble codes.
