What Does a Crankshaft Angle Sensor Do?

The crankshaft angle sensor (also known as a crankshaft position sensor or CKP sensor) is a critical component of your vehicle's engine management system that monitors the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft. Mounted near the crankshaft pulley or flywheel, the sensor detects the passing of teeth on a reluctor wheel and sends this information to the engine control unit (ECU). The ECU uses this real-time data to determine the exact position of each piston, allowing it to precisely time ignition spark and fuel injection for each cylinder. Without a functioning crankshaft angle sensor, the engine cannot start or run properly, as the ECU has no reference point for timing calculations.

Why Choose Premium Crankshaft Angle Sensors?

Premium crankshaft angle sensors are designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, ensuring accurate signal output, reliable operation, and long service life. Quality engine management components are built to exacting standards with precision engineering and quality materials. Using premium sensors ensures proper fitment, maintains your vehicle's engine management system integrity, and provides the reliability you need for worry-free driving.

Installation Notes

Professional installation is recommended for best results. Crankshaft angle sensor replacement requires disconnecting the battery, locating the sensor (typically near the crankshaft pulley, harmonic balancer, or flywheel), disconnecting the electrical connector, and removing the mounting bolt(s). Clean the mounting area before installing the new sensor. Install the new sensor and torque the mounting bolt to manufacturer specifications. Ensure proper air gap between the sensor and reluctor wheel (if adjustable). Reconnect the electrical connector. Clear any diagnostic trouble codes and test drive to verify proper operation.
