Genuine Hyundai Crankshaft Sensors

What Is a Hyundai Crankshaft Sensor?

A Hyundai Crankshaft Sensor, also known as a Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor), is a critical engine management component that monitors the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft. The sensor sends this information to the vehicle's Engine Control Unit (ECU), which uses the data to determine ignition timing and fuel injection timing.

Typically mounted near the crankshaft pulley, flywheel, or engine block, the crankshaft sensor helps ensure the engine runs smoothly, starts reliably, and delivers optimal performance. Without accurate crankshaft position data, the ECU cannot correctly control engine operation.

How Do You Know if a Crankshaft Sensor Is Faulty?

A failing crankshaft sensor can cause a variety of drivability issues. Common symptoms include:

  • Check Engine Light illuminated
  • Engine cranks but won't start
  • Intermittent stalling while driving
  • Rough idling or engine misfires
  • Loss of power or poor acceleration

In severe cases, a failed crankshaft sensor may prevent the engine from starting altogether because the ECU cannot determine the crankshaft's position.
