Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located on the engine/transmission flange.
The CKP sensor is an inductive sensor which provides the PCM with information about the engine speed and position of the crankshaft.
The signal is used for the following functions among other things:
- to control the torque converter lock-up clutch.
- to check the torque converter slip.
- to control the main line pressure.
No substitute signal is available for the CKP sensor. If the signal is not present, the engine stops.
