Crankshaft Position Sensor (PMS-CKP)

Details Crankshaft Position Sensor (PMS-CKP)

The crankshaft position sensor sends an electrical signal to the injection module that allows the synchronization of the system: injection timing, ignition advance, high out of gear, etc.

The crankshaft position sensor set is basically comprised of a spur gear or phonic wheel, permanent magnet, ferromagnetic core, coil, coil wires, braided shield, and sensor connector.

The sensor cable is entirely covered by a metal mesh referred to as braided shield. This mesh is linked to a grounding line and prevents electromagnetic interferences from disturbing the pulse pattern sent by the sensor.

Some crankshaft position sensors are found in the front part of the engine, in the pulley, and others are already assembled on the engine flywheel.
