What is the Crankshaft Position Sensor all about?

Many newer cars have computerized engine management systems that rely on sensors to report data to the computer. The crankshaft position sensor is used in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to control ignition timing and to let the computer know when to inject fuel and provide spark sequence. Due to the mounting locations of this sensor, it is common for heat and oil leaks to cause this sensor to fail.

Keep in mind:

  • Damage to the crankshaft position sensor is sometimes caused by leaking oil, which means there may be another component of your vehicle that needs replacement or repair.
  • The electrical connector can also be damaged, and should be inspected every time the position sensor is replaced.

How it's done:

  • Scan the car for trouble codes.
  • Remove and replace crankshaft position sensor.
  • Clear trouble codes.
  • Check for the proper operation of the car.

Our recommendation:

The crankshaft position sensor will usually let you know when it needs replacing. The Check Engine warning light will illuminate and you may notice that your vehicle has a hard time starting or running smoothly. When you notice any of these signs, schedule an inspection.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Crankshaft Position Sensor?

  • Car does not start.
  • Check engine light is on.
  • Car misfires (car runs rough).

How important is this service?

The crankshaft position sensor relays critical information to your vehicle’s computer management system. The sensor provides the management system with the information it needs to control ignition timing, and it lets the computer know when it needs to provide sparks and fuel. Without a functioning crankshaft position sensor, the computerized management system doesn’t receive this critical information, and the vehicle will either not start, or will misfire while you’re driving it.

Jeep CJ7 V8-5.0L - 75 Point Safety Inspection - San Diego, California
I thought David's service was A1. I am an out of state client & hired the mechanic to do an on site pre-purchase inspection for a vehicle I was to bid on the next day. David was courteous when he called to confirm w/ me. He actually went to the job site early. He appeared to be as thorough as possible given that he could not lift the vehicle in the air. His notes & pics were detailed. He explained the issues he noted as well as the bright spots regarding the vehicle. Along w/ the verbal dictated notes he left in my inspection...I was able to talk to the mechanic personally & get a lil further info. I was very appreciative of David && his work. He helped me in making a costly buying decision. Thanks again David. I would certainly recommend the service & use it again.

NIcholas arrived on time. My car would not replicate the problem so it was hard to pinpoint what was the issue. He was very professional and gave an overview of items that might be causing the problem and pointers to start with the least expensive so I can pinpoint the root of the problem.
