REC-002896
active0 Toyota ECHO (NCP1#) & PRIUS (NHW11)
Due to improper moulding of the resin body of the crankshaft position sensor installed on the engine block, engine oil may penetrate the seal and enter the sensor wiring connector. In addition, the wire harness connector may not be sufficiently attached to the locking tab of the sensor wiring connection. In this condition, engine oil inside the sensor wiring connector could cause expansion due to the heat of the engine and could deform the sensor wiring connector. In the worst case, the connector may become disconnected, which could cause the engine to stall while driving and not be able to be restarted.

This can result in the engine pulley mounting nut not applying enough clamping force to properly hold the pulley in place and create abnormal wear on the splines of the pulley and/or pulley shaft. The worn splines may cause abnormal noise and the vehicle may not accelerate smoothly.
