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 position sensor enables operations in your fuel injection and ignition systems. This sensor sends information to your vehicle’s engine control unit (ECU). Then, the ECU leverages this data to dictate movements of the corresponding engine parts.
Without a working crankshaft, your Nissan engine may malfunction. Some symptoms of a faulty Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor include odd sounds, misfires, dash lights, stalling, and uneven acceleration.
Unlike motor oil, crankshaft sensors don’t need to be replaced regularly. Instead, they should be serviced following your owners manual and replaced as-needed, if issues arise. Most commonly, engine crankshaft sensors fail due to wear and tear caused by heat, electrical shorts, or issues in other engine components, like the timing belt.
Are you noticing knocking sounds, engine stalling, or inconsistent acceleration in your Nissan? If so, a replacement Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor may be needed. Visit your nearest Nissan service center for a convenient inspection and diagnostics. If a new Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor is necessary, be sure to replace it with an authentic Nissan replacement part. Remember that the ECU depends on the crankshaft sensor to ensure your Nissan’s engine delivers the efficiency and performance you expect.
