Crankshaft Position Sensor 2

Crankshaft Position Sensor 2:

PURPOSE
Provides PCME engine speed (Ne2 signal) input. Signal used by PCME in calculations requiring rpm information.

LOCATION
Beneath crankshaft pulley.

OPERATION
As reluctor passes pick-up, magnetic field is interrupted. Pulses are generated at the rate of 6 per engine revolution, or one each 60° of crankshaft rotation.


CONSTRUCTION
Stationary magnetic pick-up. Reluctor, part of and turned by crankshaft pulley, interrupts pick-up magnetic field 6 times per engine revolution. Sensor generates a pulse each 60° of crankshaft rotation.
