When the engine is running, the linear motion of the pistons causes the crankshaft to turn, thereby creating the rotational force needed to move the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might guess, the CKP sensor measures the position and speed of the engine&rsquo;s crankshaft. The sensor creates a signal by reading a toothed or notched wheel that is usually located on the crankshaft or harmonic balancer. For this reason, the crankshaft position sensor&rsquo;s location is often at the front bottom side of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/car-engine-parts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"engine\">engine<\/a>, though, its location can vary from vehicle to vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The engine computer, which is often referred to as the powertrain control module (PCM), uses the CKP sensor signal when calculating spark timing and (in most cases) fuel injector synchronization. The PCM may also use the CKP signal when managing other functions, such as the variable valve timing system if the vehicle is so equipped. On all vehicles built after 1996, the module also uses the CKP sensor to detect an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/check-engine-light-flashing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"engine misfire\">engine misfire<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"rsi-card\">\n  <div class=\"rsi-thumb\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/d_noimage.jpg\/b_white\/e_sharpen,e_auto_brightness,e_auto_contrast\/f_auto\/q_auto:eco,dpr_auto\/w_873,h_873,c_pad\/images\/reph311817_1\">\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"rsi-info\">\n    <span class=\"rsi-title\">The Crankshaft Position Sensor Order Sheet: How to Build the Right Cart for One Job<\/span>\n    <span class=\"rsi-desc\">Check out this practical guide to ordering the right crankshaft position sensor, including fitment splits, kit logic, and what to verify before installation.<\/span>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/the-crankshaft-position-sensor-order-sheet-build-the-right-cart-for-the-job-quickref\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Discover Your Options\">Discover Your Options<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms of a Bad Crankshaft Position Sensor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the CKP sensor is a primary input to the PCM, the sensor can cause a range of different problems when it fails. Some of the most common bad crankshaft position sensor symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Illuminated Check Engine Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCM monitors the CKP sensor and its circuit. If the module detects a problem, it will turn on the check engine light and store a corresponding diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in its memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/illuminated-check-engine-light-error-signal-1024x678.jpeg\" alt=\"illuminated check engine light error signal\" class=\"wp-image-23066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/illuminated-check-engine-light-error-signal-1024x678.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/illuminated-check-engine-light-error-signal-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/illuminated-check-engine-light-error-signal-768x509.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/illuminated-check-engine-light-error-signal-1536x1017.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/illuminated-check-engine-light-error-signal-scaled.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/illuminated-check-engine-light-error-signal-150x99.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor and its circuit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engine Refuses to Start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A gas-powered engine needs three primary ingredients to run: spark, an air-fuel mixture, and compression. When the CKP sensor fails, the PCM doesn&rsquo;t know when to fire the spark plugs and pulse the fuel injectors. As a result, the engine may be starved of fuel and\/or spark, resulting in a vehicle that refuses to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hard Starting and\/or Stalling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the CKP sensor is on the fritz, it may produce a weak or erratic signal rather than failing completely. As a result, the vehicle may exhibit hard starting and\/or stalling due to improper spark and fuel delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/man-with-a-stalled-car-1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"man with a stalled car\" class=\"wp-image-23068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/man-with-a-stalled-car-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/man-with-a-stalled-car-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/man-with-a-stalled-car-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/man-with-a-stalled-car-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/man-with-a-stalled-car-1-scaled.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/man-with-a-stalled-car-1-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/man-with-a-stalled-car-1-150x100.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When the CKP sensor is on the fritz, it may produce a weak or erratic signal rather than failing completely.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engine Runs Rough and Misfires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An erratic CKP sensor can cause the PCM to miscalculate fuel injector pulse and spark timing, resulting in an engine that runs rough and misfires. As the driver, you&rsquo;ll likely interpret the misfire as a subtle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-is-my-car-shaking-and-the-check-engine-light-is-on-faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"shaking\">shaking<\/a> or stumble that may intensify when the vehicle is under load. If not corrected, the misfire can cause damage to other parts of the vehicle, such as the catalytic converter.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reduced Fuel Economy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, an engine that&rsquo;s running rough and misfiring (due to a faulty CKP sensor) will experience a reduction in fuel efficiency. A faulty CKP sensor may also prevent fuel-saving equipment, such as the variable valve timing and cylinder deactivation systems, from working properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/refueling-of-car-1024x629.jpeg\" alt=\"refueling of car\" class=\"wp-image-23069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/refueling-of-car-1024x629.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/refueling-of-car-300x184.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/refueling-of-car-768x472.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/refueling-of-car-1536x944.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/refueling-of-car-scaled.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/refueling-of-car-150x92.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An engine that&rsquo;s running rough and misfiring due to a faulty CKP sensor will experience a reduction in fuel efficiency.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Drive With a Bad Crankshaft Position Sensor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, a faulty CKP sensor will prevent the vehicle from starting, which, in turn, will prevent you from being able to drive the car.
