Where is the crankshaft sensor located on the new Santana?
1 Answers
The crankshaft sensor on the new Santana is installed near the front end of the crankshaft (at the pulley). In some models, it is mounted on the timing cover at the front of the crankshaft, while in others, it is located at the rear cover of the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor is used to detect engine speed and crankshaft position signals. Through the detection of the crankshaft position sensor, the working condition of the vehicle can be more intuitively understood. Additionally, the crankshaft position sensor is the primary signal for controlling injection and ignition timing. When issues such as lack of power or failure to start occur, they are often caused by a malfunctioning crankshaft position sensor, which requires removal for inspection and repair. To do this, first disconnect the sensor wiring harness from the main wiring harness near the rear of the intake manifold. Then, remove the nut securing the crankshaft position sensor lead clip on the oil pipe mounting bolt. Next, remove the crankshaft position sensor mounting bolt. Finally, remove the crankshaft position sensor and the clamp holding the crankshaft position sensor wiring harness for inspection and repair.
