Where is the crankshaft position of the Santa Fe?

The crankshaft position of the Santa Fe is located on the engine. The crankshaft is a crucial component of the engine, and its working principle is as follows: the crankshaft receives the force transmitted by the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is then output through the crankshaft to drive other engine accessories. Taking the Santa Fe 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4930 mm, width 1910 mm, height 1720 mm, wheelbase 2865 mm, and fuel tank capacity 71 liters. The Santa Fe 2020 model is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 169 kW and a maximum torque of 353 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
When working on my car at home, I found that the crankshaft position sensor on the Hyundai Santa Fe is generally located at the lower front part of the engine, near the crankshaft pulley. You'll need to open the hood and remove the air filter housing or plastic cover to access it. It's usually mounted close to the crankcase and appears as a small black cylindrical component. This sensor monitors engine speed and position to control ignition timing; if it gets dirty or loose, the car may have difficulty starting or trigger a warning light. Don't rush into repairs - first use a diagnostic tool to read the trouble codes and confirm it's the actual issue, otherwise tampering with other components like the pulley could cause damage. During maintenance, check that the wiring connectors are secure and prevent oil contamination that could affect performance.
