id0140b5104800
• CKP sensor is installed near crankshaft pulley.
• CKP sensor is a hall-element type and it detects hall voltage generated by the change in magnetic flux of the magnet inside the sensor and hall element as the crankshaft speed signal.
• Crankshaft speed signal is detected directly from the fin and window area on the plate.
• CKP sensor also detects the engine speed signal and inputs it to the PCM in case the fuel pump speed sensor has a malfunction in detecting the engine speed signal.
