What is the purpose of the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor on Chevrolet C1500?

The PCM gets a signal about the position of the crankshaft from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor, which is used to determine the spark sequence for each cylinder, ignite at the right time-ignition timing, calculate engine speed and detect misfires. The notches cause fluctuation in the magnetic field as they pass the sensor and hence result in an oscillating voltage. If there is no input from this component, your ignition system will be disabled. The terminals and wires should be checked for looseness or breaks to test the sensor and also verify the voltage supply at the underhood electrical center. Fix it if there is wrong voltage that arises from it. Connect again(to check sensor operation), back probe on the yellow wire terminal and then crank engine (it should read 5.0 volts AC). Replace if there's no signal available. Whenever you change this part perform a Crankshaft Position Sensor Variation Learning Procedure to avoid false diagnostic trouble codes. Disconnect battery cable; raise vehicle and support using jack stands; remove skid plate if necessary; disconnect electrical connector; remove mounting bolt; install new sensor.

Chevrolet C1500 Crankshaft Position Sensor

The Crankshaft Position Sensor as one of the Chevrolet C1500 automobile's electronic systems is responsible for indicating the crankshaft position and its rotational speed. It relays this information to the PCM where this information is utilised to control the rate of fuel injection and the ignition timing to produce optimum engine performance. The crankshaft position sensors have included types such as, inductive, Hall Effect, magnetoresistive and the optical sensors. Magnetic field sensors are inductive sensors which are passive, Hall and magnetoresistive sensors can sense static magnetic fields. Optical sensors ability of edge detection are fairly accurate but they are easily fouled. It usually located on crank pulley, flywheel, or crankshaft and its failure usually causes starting problems or stalling of the engine. On an average it can be concluded that the Crankshaft Position Sensor is one of the most vital elements of the current generation engine management systems and increases performance and durability.

Each OEM Chevrolet C1500 Crankshaft Position Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
