How do I Replace a Crank Sensor in a 2000 Toyota Echo?
The crankshaft sensor in a 2000 Toyota Echo is located on the back side of the engine block, between the exhaust manifold and the oil pan. It is an electromagnetic sensor that plugs directly into the engine block in order to position the tip of the sensor near the revolving crankshaft. When this sensor fails, the engine may crank but not fire. Replacement Toyota crankshaft sensors can be purchased from auto parts stores and licensed Toyota parts distributors.
