TDC sensor - removal and refittingIgnition system / TDC sensor - removal and refitting
Removal
1 Depending on engine type, the TDC sensor
is for use with the diagnostic socket located
on the clutch housing, or for the provision of
information on crankshaft position to the
engine management system ECU. When used
in conjunction with the diagnostic socket, a
special instrument and adapter are required
and therefore it will normally be used only by a
Peugeot garage.
2 To remove the sensor, unscrew the mounting screw or release the clamp as applicable.
3 Where the sensor forms part of the diagnostic socket assembly, if it is to be completely removed, the socket must be unclipped from its bracket and the remaining wiring and earth leads disconnected.
Refitting
4 Refitting is a reversal of removal, but the
adjustment procedure for new and used
sensors differs. New sensors have three
extensions on the inner face and the unit
should be inserted through the clamp until the
extensions just touch the flywheel. The clamp
screw is then tightened and clearance is
provided as the flywheel rotates and wears
the ends of the extensions. This method
should not be used when refitting a used
sensor. In this case, cut off the extensions
completely then temporarily insert the sensor
until it touches the flywheel, remove it and
reposition it in the clamp 1.0 mm further out.
