CPS: Anticipatory Replacement Or Wait for Failure?
#11
Yeah, unfortunately that video is Bravo Sierra (BS). It gives no advice about how to release and reconnect the electrical connector, which is BY FAR the more difficult and time-consuming part of the job.
I think I agree with Richard, who says replace it now and keep the old one (in the truck) as a spare.
The CKPS in my truck failed nearly nine years and 65,000 miles ago. I was on the way home from a January Boy Scout trip with six scouts on board, mid-day Sunday an hour from home. The truck got towed and a parent came and rescued us with his minivan. I went back the next day and installed the new CKPS in a building at the towing company's lot. Maybe I should replace mine again proactively.

I asked this same question as OP about replacement two years before my CPS crapped out on me in the middle of Atlanta traffic during the summer. That situation sucked!
I totally agree with these guys.
If you don't know how old the CPS is, replace it now with a Bosch #ERR-735 or NAPA's Echlin #CSS9280 (supposedly a Bosch brand in NAPA box) as preventive maintenance and peace of mind.
