Where is the Crankshaft Position Sensor on Chery Tiggo 3?
2 Answers
Chery Tiggo 3's crankshaft position sensor is located on the engine. The removal method for the crankshaft position sensor is as follows: The principle of the crankshaft position sensor is to provide signals for ignition timing (ignition advance angle) and confirm crankshaft position, used to detect piston top dead center, crankshaft angle, and engine speed. 1. Disconnect the sensor wiring harness from the main wiring harness. 2. Remove the nut fixing the crankshaft position sensor wire clamp on the oil pipe mounting bolt, then remove the crankshaft position sensor mounting bolt. 3. Remove the crankshaft position sensor and detach the clamp of the crankshaft position sensor wiring harness.
I often work on Tiggo 3 models, and the crankshaft position sensor is usually installed at the front of the engine near the crankshaft pulley—just open the hood to spot it. Last time, I helped a friend replace it because if the sensor fails, the car might not start or run unevenly, which is really annoying. I recommend regularly checking the connector to ensure it’s secure, avoiding breakdowns at critical moments. Pick a sunny day for the job, use a flashlight, and take your time—don’t yank it hastily to avoid damaging other wiring. For newer model years, the sensor might be relocated near the flywheel on the transmission side, so it’s best to double-check the manual. Bottom line: though small, this part is vital for the engine’s 'heartbeat'—never overlook it.
