Why does a crankshaft sensor do?
The functional objective for the crankshaft position sensor is to determine the position and/or rotational speed (RPM) of the crank. Engine Control Units use the information transmitted by the sensor to control parameters such as ignition timing and fuel injection timing.
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.
