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 fuel injection and ignition systems. The crankshaft sensor sends information to your vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU). Afterwards, the ECU utilizes this information to dictate movements of the corresponding engine parts.

If the crankshaft malfunctions, your Nissan engine may not perform as designed. Some symptoms of a faulty Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor include misfires, dashboard signals, engine knocking sounds, engine stopping unprompted, and uneven acceleration.

There aren’t prescribed replacement intervals for Engine Crankshaft Position Sensors. They only need to be serviced according to your Nissan’s manual and replaced when they malfunction. Typically, an Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor fails due to damage caused by high temperatures, electrical faults, or issues in other engine components, like the timing belt.

Are you noticing knocking sounds, engine stalling, or irregular acceleration in your Nissan? If so, you may need a new Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor. Stop by your nearest Nissan service center for quick and precise inspections. If a new Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor is necessary, be sure to replace it with an original Nissan-made component. Remember, the ECU requires a working Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor to ensure your Nissan’s engine top-notch performance and fuel efficiency.
