Crankshaft Reluctor Wheel

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The crankshaft reluctor wheel is part of the crankshaft. The reluctor wheel contains a pattern around the circumference of the wheel consisting of 58 teeth and a reference gap. Each tooth on the reluctor wheel is spaced at 60 tooth spacing, or 6 degrees apart from each other with 2 missing teeth for the reference gap. The engine control module (ECM) uses the teeth and reference gap to determine the crankshaft position (CKP) and speed.
