It precisely detects the rotational speed and position of the crankshaft, transmitting this vital data to the engine control unit (ECU). Accurate crankshaft position data is essential for the ECU to properly time fuel injection and ignition events. This synchronization is fundamental for smooth engine operation, optimal power delivery, and efficient fuel consumption. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to various drivability issues, including rough idling, stalling, and reduced performance. Manufactured by CONTINENTAL/VDO, a trusted name in automotive electronics, this sensor is built to meet stringent quality standards. Its robust construction ensures reliability and durability in the demanding under-hood environment. Replacing a faulty sensor with this genuine part will help restore your engine's performance and prevent potential further damage.
