Crank Sensors

CRANK SENSORS

he crankshaft position sensor (often referred to as the crank sensor or CKP sensor) is a critical component in modern internal combustion engines. Its main job is to monitor the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft, providing essential data to the engine control unit (ECU) for ignition timing, fuel injection, and other vital engine functions.

What is the Crankshaft Position Sensor?

The crankshaft position sensor detects the position of the crankshaft as it rotates and sends this information to the ECU. This data helps the ECU determine the exact timing for fuel injection, ignition spark, and other engine functions, ensuring that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
