Snow Frank Koruz crankshaft position sensor is located at the front end of the vehicle crankshaft (at the pulley) and near the large flywheel at the rear end of the crankshaft. The engine hood needs to be opened for inspection. Here is additional information: 1. Types: There are mainly three types of crankshaft sensors: magnetoelectric induction type, Hall effect type, and photoelectric type. 2. Function: The function of the crankshaft position sensor is to detect the engine speed, hence it is also called the speed sensor; to detect the top dead center position of the piston, hence it is also called the top dead center sensor, including detecting the top dead center signals of each cylinder for ignition control and the top dead center signal of the first cylinder for sequential fuel injection control.
