Sensor Magnet.
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 vehicle’s ignition and fuel injection systems. This sensor sends information to your Nissan’s engine control unit (ECU). In turn, the ECU uses this data to dictate movements of the corresponding engine parts.
If the crankshaft malfunctions, your Nissan engine may not perform as designed. A few side effects of a worn Nissan Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor include odd sounds, misfires, dash lights, engine failures, and uneven acceleration.
Unlike motor oil, crankshaft sensors don’t need to be replaced regularly. Rather, they need to be maintained following your vehicle manual and replaced when they malfunction. Most of the time, a motorist’s Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor malfunctions due to damage resulting from overheating, electrical faults, or wear of other engine parts, such as the accessory belt.
Are you noticing knocking sounds, engine stalling, or inconsistent acceleration in your Nissan? In that case, 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, ensure you replace the sensor with an authentic Nissan replacement part. Don’t forget that the ECU depends on the Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor to ensure your Nissan’s engine the efficiency and performance you deserve.
