Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor provides a signal used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to calculate the ignition sequence. The sensor initiates the 58X reference pulses which the PCM uses to calculate RPM and crankshaft position. For additional information, refer to Electronic Ignition System.
