Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Crank Angle Sensor Pick-Up
PURPOSE
The crank angle sensors generate a frequency signal used by the ECU to determine piston location.
LOCATION
The sensors are located on the front of the engine, above the crankshaft pulley.
Crank Angle Sensor 1
Crank Angle Sensor 2
OPERATION
Both sensors generate a signal whenever the engine is rotating. As a tooth on the crankshaft pulley passes below the sensing head, a small
electrical pulse is generated.
Sensor #1 generates 12 equal pulses during each crankshaft revolution. This sensor pulse is used to determine proper injection timing.
