• When working on the crankshaft timing pulley, make sure that the magnetic disc does not become damaged by contamination or the effects of force. Do not use any sharp or magnetic tool.
• The CKP sensor is located behind the crankshaft timing pulley, on the oil pump housing.
• The CKP sensor operates using the Hall effect principle and senses a magnetic disc on the crankshaft timing pulley. This magnetic disc has 60 magnetic pole pairs, which are arranged around its circumference.
• Through the electronic sensing of the magnetic poles, the engine management calculates the engine speed.
