- The crank angle sensor is an integral part of the modern vehicle engine management system. The crank angle sensor provides accurate information of crankshaft speed and position; this is achieved through the use of an inductive pickup, Hall Effect or optical sensor.
- The crank angle sensor signal is used by the ECU to calculate correct ignition timing, correct fuel injector timing and control of engine RPM.
- The crank angle sensor must be compatible with the vehicle ignition system; the Tridon crank angle sensor range has been carefully researched and engineered to suit each specific application. Some crank angle sensors look similar but are not interchangeable.
