Where is the crankshaft position sensor installed?

[StWalter]

The crankshaft position sensor is generally installed at the front end of the crankshaft, the front end of the camshaft, inside the distributor, or on the flywheel. More information about the crankshaft position sensor is as follows: 1. The structural forms of the crankshaft position sensor include magnetic induction type, photoelectric type, and Hall type. 2. The function of the crankshaft position sensor is to determine the position of the crankshaft, that is, the rotation angle of the crankshaft. 3. The crankshaft position sensor is usually installed inside the distributor and is one of the most important sensors in the control system. 4. The crankshaft position sensor detects the engine speed, hence it is also called the speed sensor; it detects the top dead center position of the piston, so it is also known as the top dead center sensor.
