Crankshaft Position
Sensor (CKPS) detects the crankshaft position and is one of the most
important sensors of the engine control system. If there is no CKPS signal
input, the engine may stop because of CKPS signal missing. This sensor is
installed on transaxle housing and generates alternating current by
magnetic flux field which is made by the sensor and the target wheel when
the engine rotates.The target wheel consists of 58 slots and 2 missing
slots on 360 CA (Crank Angle).
