Crankshaft Position Sensor 2007 Tundra

Hey guys my check engine light came on and the code it was giving me was for the crankshaft position sensor. Has anybody had to replace this before and how hard was it to get to and replace? Also if you know the location of where the sensor is located that would be great! Everything I have read says my truck should either not be starting or it should be running roughly. Neither of which is happening. Is it safe to drive if these problems aren't occuring?

 

I have, super easy. Driver side, toward the rear of the engine, 5.7l, just in front of the transmission bell housing its covered by a small aluminum piece about 3 inches long teardrop like, size 12mm if I remember correctly. Roll down there with a 10, 12, and 14 just in case.. because I don't remember. Part was about $95 at Oreilly... but be advised.. I did get this code just before my starter went out..

 

I'm at work at this time, and I brought my truck, if it's not raining I'll snap a pic and post it in about an hour....


Edit: Here is a google image I used.

 

Awesome thanks man! I’ll go check it out then! I also had a cat converter bank low code. After I reset the codes and the light came back on all I’m getting is the cat converter code. I’m wondering if I have a bad O2 sensor and that kicked on the crank sensor code as well

 

Yes... is it upstream or downstream???

Having issues uploading the picture and I just realize my rear main seal may be bad...

 

Black Pigtail to the top left. Between the crossmember and bell housing on the picture.. additionally I do realize the oil leak in the bell housing I was 2.5 quarts low today.. damn...

 

Because my phone sucks, google drive sucks and I suck at posting links, I've attached the actual picture. That black thing in the bottom left hand corner is the cross member, the black thing on the right is the transmission. Just incase you're confuse. I took the picture from beneath the driver door, just behind the front left tire.
