Tridon Crank Angle Sensor - TCAS397

The crank angle sensor is an integral part of the modern vehicle engine management system, it provides accurate information of crankshaft speed and position, this is achieved through the use of an inductive pickup, Hall Effect or optical sensor.The crank angle sensor signal is used by the ECU to calculate correct ignition timing, correct fuel injector timing and control of engine RPM.A faulty or inoperable crank angle sensor may result in no spark, difficult starting, misfiring, poor fuel economy and overall poor engine performance.The crank angle sensor must be compatible with the vehicle ignition system, always refer to the vehicle application list to ensure correct part number selection.
