• Stalling related to loss of crankshaft signal
• Driveability issues after heat-related sensor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. Inspect the sealing surface and O-ring area for debris or damage, and confirm the sensor seats fully in the original mounting location. Because fitment spans multiple Toyota and Lexus platforms, compare the vehicle year and model carefully before ordering Dorman 962-551.
