Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. The CPS0198 uses a 3-terminal blade connector with a male terminal configuration, so the harness connection should match the original sensor. Confirm the sensor location on the engine and inspect the connector and wiring for corrosion or damage before replacing the part.
