What is the purpose and location of the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor?

The Crankshaft Position(CKP) sensor determines the timing for the fuel injection and ignition on each cylinder. The crankshaft sensor is mounted on the timing chain cover next to the crankshaft pulley. A problem in the crankshaft sensor circuit will set a diagnostic trouble code. Loosen the right front wheel lug nuts. Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands. Remove the wheel and the inner fender shield. Remove the two bolts(one secures the sensor, the other is close by and secures the harness) and detach the sensor. At the upper part of the timing chain cover, disconnect the harness connector and remove the harness and sensor. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to use a new O-ring on the sensor, lightly coated with engine oil.

Pontiac Vibe Crankshaft Position Sensor

The Crankshaft Position Sensor, used in Pontiac Vibe automobiles, is one of the vital electronic components to control the phase of the automobile's engine and relay impulses to the management system. This sensor is very crucial in managing of fuel injection and the setting of timing of the ignition systems alongside other parameters of the engine. A busted Crankshaft Position Sensor also hampers the vehicle from starting altogether. It follows the crankshaft position and speed as a reference for ignition and fuel injection processes. Some of the types of sensors found in Pontiac Vibe vehicles include inductive, Hall Effect, magnetoresistive, and optical sensors for accurate management of the engine. Probmatic responses in the sensor can cause symptoms such as poor idle, rich/lean condition which causes misfiring, and starting problems especially when the engine is cold.

Each OEM Pontiac Vibe Crankshaft Position Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.
