Crankshaft Position Sensor for Nissan Engines ⚙️

Why you need it

This small sensor sends precise crank angle and RPM data to the ECU. With that signal, the computer times ignition and fuel injection, giving fast starts, steady idle, strong pull, and clean emissions. Without a reliable signal, the engine cannot know piston position, and control falls apart.

How it works

A Hall/magnetic element faces a toothed reluctor on the crank. As teeth pass the tip, the sensor generates a clean pulse train. The ECU reads tooth spacing and the missing-tooth gap to locate TDC, then syncs spark and injector events for each cylinder. Built to OE standards to resist heat, vibration, and oil splash, with stable output across a wide temperature range.

When it fails

Common signs: long crank or no-start, random stalling, misfires, rough idle, poor fuel economy, limp mode, erratic tach, and codes like P0335–P0339. Driving with a bad signal can foul plugs, overheat the catalyst, and cause excessive fuel wash in cylinders.

Fitment and install tips

Direct plug-and-play. Mount the sensor flush, keep the tip gap correct, route the harness away from exhaust, and torque to spec. Check the crank reluctor for damage, and clear fault codes after installation.
