Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Distributor

PURPOSE

Provides engine speed and crankshaft position information to the ECM.

LOCATION

Built into distributor.

OPERATION AND CONSTRUCTION

Built into the distributor, the CKP consists of a photoelectric pick-up and rotor plate with light transmission slits.  As the rotor plate turns, the slits
alternately transmit and cut light read by the photoelectric pick-up unit.  This generates pulses utilized by the ECM to calculate engine rpm and
crankshaft position.
