Where is the Verna tachometer sensor located?

[MichaelDella]

The Verna tachometer sensor is located near the flywheel on the engine cylinder block. The working principle of automotive sensors is to convert various operating condition information during vehicle operation, such as speed, temperature of various media, and engine operating conditions, into electrical signals transmitted to the computer, ensuring the engine operates in an optimal state. The Verna is a compact sedan under Hyundai, with dimensions of 4300mm in length, 1705mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2570mm. The 2020 Verna is equipped with a 1.4-liter naturally aspirated engine across all variants, delivering 95 horsepower and a maximum torque of 132 Nm, with a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm. This engine features D-CVVT technology and multi-point fuel injection, and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.

I've worked in auto repair shops for many years and often get inquiries from Verna owners about the location of the tachometer sensor. This typically refers to the crankshaft position sensor, which is installed in the front part of the engine bay near the timing chain cover. It's positioned low and sometimes hidden underneath. If you open the hood and crouch down to look toward the front wheels, you'll spot a small black device with wires connected to the computer system. If it malfunctions, the car may have difficulty starting or experience unstable RPMs, requiring a check for looseness or contamination. It's best to visit a proper repair shop or 4S dealership where they can quickly locate it, as DIY attempts can be tricky due to tight spaces. Remember, checking it during routine maintenance can prevent minor issues from turning into major headaches.

I drive a Verna myself, and last time when the tachometer wasn't responding properly, I checked it myself. The sensor is usually fixed at the lower part of the engine, near the flywheel. Open the hood, and you can spot it from the side or underneath—it's a square or cylindrical component with exposed wiring. It's not hard to find; just follow the main wiring harness of the engine, but be careful not to accidentally touch other components. I once used my phone's flashlight to confirm its position. For a quick test, you can use a multimeter to check if the voltage is normal. If it consistently gets stuck in the low-speed range, it's often because the sensor is dirty or misaligned. Cleaning or repositioning it in time can save you some repair costs.

When I first started learning about cars, I didn't know where the tachometer sensor was located on the Verna. After asking an experienced mechanic, I learned it's usually in the engine compartment, positioned low near the front of the engine. If you crouch under the front of the car and look towards the front of the engine, you'll see a black sensor about the size of a finger, mounted on a metal bracket. Understanding its location helps assess engine health - for example, when the RPM fluctuates abnormally, this is one component to check. Avoid disassembling it at unprofessional shops as the wiring can easily be damaged. Beginners should pay attention to the locations of basic components to improve daily maintenance awareness.
