Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on a 2001 Tahoe?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) on a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe is located on the passenger side of the engine block, near the front of the engine, typically near or on the bellhousing. It's often close to where the crankshaft and transmission meet. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the engine (4.8L, 5.3L, or 5.7L) and specific vehicle configuration.

To find it definitively:

1. Consult a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual specific to your 2001 Tahoe will have diagrams showing the exact location. This is the most reliable method.

2. Use an online parts diagram: Many online auto parts stores (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to select your vehicle's year, make, model, and engine, then view diagrams showing the CKP sensor's position.

3. Visually inspect: If you're comfortable working under the hood, carefully look around the bellhousing area on the passenger side of the engine. The sensor is usually a small unit with a single or multiple wires connected to it. Be cautious of hot engine parts.

Important Note: Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before attempting any work near the engine.
