CRANKSHAFT Position Sensor
2020-07-16
The purpose of the crankshaft position sensor is to determine the position of the crankshaft, which is the angle of rotation of the crankshaft. It usually works with a camshaft position sensor to determine the basic ignition time. We all know that the engine starts at the end of the compression stroke, so how does the engine computer know which cylinder to fire? Is through the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor signal to calculate, through the crankshaft position sensor, you can know which cylinder Piston is at TDC, through the Camshaft Position Sensor, you can tell which cylinder piston is in the compression stroke. That way, the engine computer knows when to fire which cylinder.
