What kind of sensor is a crank sensor?
Generally, there are four types of crankshaft or camshaft position sensors: magnetic pick-up coils, Hall-effect sensors, magneto-resistive element (MRE) sensors, and optical sensors.
What happens when the crank shaft sensor on a Hyundai Santa Fe is defective?
by Arthur Heberger. When the crankshaft position sensor on a Hyundai Santa Fe is defective, you may experience hard starts, stalling or the engine may not start at all. The CKP sensor monitors the speed and position of the crankshaft. A reluctor attached to the crankshaft generates a signal as it passes the CKP sensor.
Where is the CKP sensor on a Hyundai Santa Fe?
The sensor sends a signal to the power control module to calculate ignition timing, fuel injector timing, misfire diagnostics and the tachometer display. The CKP sensor is located at the front of the engine, next to the crankshaft. Open the hood of the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Why does my Santa Fe engine shut off while driving?
From what I’ve been researching the Santa Fe’s have a faulty “Crank-Shaft Sensor” in which it makes the SVU just shut off while driving. The manufacture knows of this problem but continues to ignore any and all permanent solutions. This problem isn’t the worst part though!
