A electronic device used in an internal combustion engine to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft while this information is used by engine management systems to control the fuel injection or the ignition system timing and other engine parameters.
- Part of your vehicle's fuel injection and ignition systems
- Monitors the engine's many moving parts
- May need to be replaced if Check Engine Light is on
The Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor supports operations in your car’s ignition and fuel injection systems. The crankshaft sensor sends information to your car’s engine control unit (ECU). In turn, the ECU leverages this data to dictate movements of the corresponding engine parts.
Without a functional crankshaft, your Nissan engine may act up. A few side effects of a worn Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor include odd sounds, misfires, dash lights, stalling, and inconsistent acceleration.
There aren’t prescribed replacement intervals for Engine Crankshaft Position Sensors. Instead, they should be serviced following your owners manual and replaced as-needed, if issues arise. Typically, an Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor fails due to wear and tear caused by heat, electrical faults, or wear of other engine parts, such as the accessory belt.
Are you experiencing engine knocking sounds, engine stalling, or uneven acceleration in your Nissan? If so, a replacement Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor may be needed. Stop by your nearest Nissan service center for quick and accurate diagnostics. If a replacement Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor is needed, replace it with an authentic Nissan replacement part. Remember that the ECU depends on the crankshaft sensor to ensure your Nissan’s combustion engine delivers the efficiency and performance you expect.
