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 functions in your vehicle’s ignition and fuel injection systems. This sensor submits 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 act up. A few signs you have a worn Nissan Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor include misfires, dashboard signals, engine knocking sounds, engine stopping unprompted, and uneven acceleration.
Unlike motor oil, crankshaft sensors don’t need to be replaced regularly. They only need to be serviced according to your Nissan’s manual and replaced when they malfunction. Most commonly, engine crankshaft sensors fail due to damage caused by high temperatures, electrical faults, or wear of other engine parts, such as the accessory belt.
Are you experiencing engine knocking sounds, misfires, or irregular 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 accurate diagnostics. If a replacement Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor is needed, be sure to replace it with an authentic Nissan-made replacement component. Remember, the ECU requires a working Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor to ensure your Nissan’s engine top-notch performance and fuel efficiency.
