GMC Acadia Crankshaft Position Sensor

Crankshaft Position Sensor refer to an electronic gadget that is used in GMC Acadia to track the position and the rotational speeds of the crankshaft. The information is relayed to the power train control module which uses this information to properly control the mapping of fuel to be injected and the timing required for ignition for proper functioning of the engine. A number of types of CSP sensors have been employed, these include inductive, Hall Effect, magnetoresistive, and optical sensors. Inductive sensors do not active while Hall and magnetoresistive sensors respond to static magnetic fields. Optical sensors make very good edge detectors but they are highly likely to be affected by fouling. The sensor is most often placed on the crank pulley, flywheel or directly on the crankshaft and failure can result in starting problems or stalling of the engine. In total, the Crankshaft Position Sensor is considered to be one of the most significant parts of the engine management system on GMC Acadia automobiles.

Each OEM GMC Acadia 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.
