The crank position sensor (CKP) is a variable reluctance (VR) sensor. It generates an AC signal by sensing the passing of the 30 teeth machined in the left side flywheel. Two consecutive teeth are missing in the flywheel to establish a reference point. The CKP sends a signal to the electronic control module which references engine position (TDC) and engine speed.
NOTE
CKP sensor connector is not serviceable. Replace the entire assembly if it fails.
