Tridon Crank Angle Sensor

• The crank angle sensor (also known as the crank position sensor) is an electronic device designed to monitor the rotational speed and position of the vehicle crankshaft (pistons) required by the engine management system.
• The sensor produces an electrical output signal voltage as a result of rotational speed and position of the vehicle crankshaft. The output signal voltage is processed by the engine management system to control ignition timing, fuel injection timing and other important functions.
• Crank angle sensor locations may vary. Common locations include; the main crank pulley, the flywheel or in the distributor assembly connected to the crankshaft through a gear assembly.
• The crank angle sensor may be used in combination with a similar sensor located on or near the vehicle camshaft(s), known as the cam angle sensor. The use of both crank and cam angle sensors enable monitoring of the relationship between the crankshaft (pistons) and the camshaft(s) (valves), particularly important in modern engines with variable valve timing.
