There is lots of info about resoldering the RCM if it goes bad but what do you do if you're away from home? Well, I found a tool that will find it's way into my small emergency tool kit, i's called a Cold Heat soldering tool. I have been using it on my model train layout and realized it would be ideal to redo the RCM. Available from Radio Shack it uses a 4 AA batteries, heats very quickly and is cool to the touch immediately after soldering. No wires, no waiting for it to cool and it is small to carry

Both are excellent ideas! I was glad I was able to re-solder mine at home. What luck!

 

Or you could do what I did : carry a spare one in the emergency kit along with the 2 Bosch CP sensors, the tire repair kit, the 12v jump starter and necessary tools. ( the spare serpentine belt is stored by the underhood accessory fuse box )

 

What he said.....

 

By CP I guess you mean one each of the Crankshaft and Cam shaft position sensors.
Also AAA or CAA cards and most importantly - don't leave home without it - a credit card with a high (usable) limit on it..

 

YES, sorry it wasn't clear
