Why do I get an error code on my crankshaft?
The crankshaft position sensor is a stationary piece, but it works with the reluctor ring to determine positioning and voltage. When something occurs to interrupt the transference of signals, you will likely end up receiving an error code. However, there are many reasons for this message to occur.
What does ECU code C12 mean when bike wont start?
When the bike will not start the ECU code read c12 “crank positioning sensor fault or Trigger Coil sensor”. Fuel injected models have the crank positioning sensor and carbureted models have the trigger coil. I found a loose connection that was causing the intermittent errors and not letting it start. I repaired it and everything seems good.
What should I do if my crank sensor is not working?
If there is no reading, then you can check the crank sensor for any sign of damage and make repairs as necessary. If the sensor looks fine, then you should contact an experienced mechanic to use a scope and assess the damage. You can also check for any loose wiring or connections.
What happens when the crankshaft sensor is not working?
While idling at a red light or otherwise stopped, you may notice the engine grinding or vibrating. When this happens, it means the sensor is not monitoring the crankshaft’s position, leading to vibrations that affect overall engine power. The shaking can also interfere with the engine’s tracking of mileage.
What is the average crankshaft position sensor rating?
Average rating from 129,829 customers who received a Vehicle Engine Electrical Inspection. The crankshaft position sensor is an engine management component found on virtually all modern vehicles with internal combustion engines.
Where is the timing connector on a C13 engine?
