Hyundai Elantra MD/UD: Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS). Description
and Operation
Description
Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) detects the crankshaft position and
is one of the most important sensors of the engine control system. If there
is no CKPS signal input, the engine may stop because of CKPS signal missing.
This sensor is installed on the cylinder block or the transaxle housing and
generates alternating current by magnetic flux field which is made by the sensor
and the target wheel when engine runs.
The target wheel consists of 58 slots and 2 missing slots on 360 degrees
CA (Crank Angle).
