TechASSIST: Product Support and Information

The crankshaft position sensor plays a critical role in engine management. It: Monitors crankshaft rotation and position in real-time, feeding this data to the ECU Controls ignition and fuel injection timing, ensuring optimal combustion Synchronises with the camshaft sensor to manage variable valve timing and emissions control Prevents misfiring and no-start conditions caused by timing inconsistencies A failing crank sensor can lead to severe drivability issues, starting problems, or total engine shut-down. It’s a vital component in the modern vehicle.

Why Do They Fail?

Crank angle sensors typically fail due to:

  • Internal wear or fatigue of the magnetic or Hall effect sensing element

  • Heat and vibration exposure near the flywheel or engine block

  • Damage to the reluctor ring (missing teeth or distortion)

  • Corrosion or contamination from oil or coolant leaks

  • Wiring faults or loose connectors in high-vibration areas

Failure may be sudden or intermittent, making diagnosis difficult without live signal analysis.

Symptoms of a Failed Crank Angle Sensor

When a crank angle sensor fails or begins to malfunction, the following symptoms may occur:

  • Intermittent or complete no-start condition, especially when the engine is hot
  • Engine stalling while driving or idling
  • Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated, sometimes without specific fault codes
  • Uneven or rough idle, hesitation on acceleration
  • Poor fuel economy and reduced engine performance
  • Limp mode activation or crank but no spark condition

Because crank angle sensor issues can mimic many other faults, it's essential to verify the signal using a scan tool or oscilloscope.

  1. Inspect the sensor connector and wiring for signs of corrosion, damage, or oil ingress.

  2. Avoid overtightening — most sensors are mounted in plastic housings with specific torque values.

  3. Clean the mounting surface and check the air gap between the sensor and reluctor.

  4. Check for ECU fault codes, but don’t rely on codes alone — use a scan tool to verify live RPM signal.

  5. Reset the ECU or run a relearn procedure if required by the vehicle system.
