10. Rotate engine two revolutions to take up slack in timing chain and return No. 1 cylinder to its
compression stroke.
11. NOTE: No. 1 cylinder must be at 26 degrees After Top Dead Center (ATDC) to set CID sensor.
Verify that No. 1 cylinder is on its compression stroke (both valves closed).
12. Continue to rotate the crankshaft until the new 26 degrees ATDC mark lines up with the timing
pointer.
13. NOTE: The voltmeter will register battery voltage whenever the CID sensor closes and makes
a complete circuit.
While rotating the CID sensor, note the exact point where the sensor switches from 0 to 12 volts on
the voltmeter.
14. NOTE: The final movement to set the CID sensor must be in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE
direction.
Rotate the CID sensor clockwise past the CID switching point (from 12 to 0 volts).
15. Rotate the CID sensor counterclockwise and stop at the exact point the voltmeter switches from 0 to
12 volts.
16. Tighten the CID sensor hold-down bolt to 17-21 Nm (13-15 lb-ft) using Sensor Adjusting Wrench
T94T-12270-A.
17. Disconnect the testing wiring harness and the voltmeter and proceed with Step 12 of Installation
above.
