Installation Notes and Tips
Verify connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle fitment before installation. Inspect the harness connector for corrosion or damaged terminals, and confirm the mounting surface is clean so the sensor can read engine vibration accurately. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the required hardware separately if your application calls for it.
