Nissan Crankshaft Sensor

Description

What Happens when the Crankshaft Position Sensor Malfunctions?

If you need to keep your engine performing well, it is imperative that this sensor stays in top condition. Any defect in the sensor will result in the communication of incorrect data to the engine management unit. The engine, when performing on the basis of this data will not perform optimally. It may even go as bad as making the car stall. The reason is that the EMU will start depending on its own memory to ensure fueling and ignition, which by the way, cannot be optimal. So, diminished engine performance could actually be one of the symptoms of crankshaft sensor failure.

Thus, the crankshaft position sensor plays a very important role in ensuring the performance of the engine and adding to its efficiency. Follow the maintenance tips recommended by your automaker to keep it in a great shape.
