Parts for your 2019 Suzuki Splash-Crank angle sensor

2019 Suzuki Splash crank-angle sensor

Yes, the 2019-registered Suzuki Splash uses a crank-angle sensor (crankshaft position sensor). Technical references include the Suzuki Splash (A5L/A5M) workshop manual under Engine Control System with DTCs P0335/P0336 for the crankshaft position circuit, Suzuki global EPC listings showing a crankshaft position sensor for K10B and K12B petrol engines, and FPT/Fiat 1.3 DDiS (MultiJet) engine service data that specifies a CKP sensor. Those sources confirm the part is fitted across the Splash’s common engines.

The crank-angle sensor on a 2019 Suzuki Splash is the quiet hero of the engine management. It reads a toothed wheel on the crankshaft and feeds exact crank position and engine speed to the ECU. Paired with the camshaft sensor, it lets the ECU fire the coils and injectors at the right moment, keep idle steady, and deliver clean starts on frosty mornings. Without a crisp signal from the CKP, the Splash will often crank but refuse to start, stumble, or drop into limp mode with the MIL on.

There’s no scheduled replacement interval for the CKP on the Splash, and in normal use it’s maintenance-free. During routine servicing, techs should quickly eyeball the sensor body and harness where it mounts to the block/bellhousing area, checking for heat-hardening, oil wicking into the connector, or chafing on nearby brackets. If the sensor is removed for any reason, keep the tip clean, avoid striking the reluctor wheel, and refit with a fresh O-ring. The retaining bolt should be torqued to the workshop spec (commonly in the 8–10 N·m range, verify for the exact engine code), and the loom clipped so it can’t rub through over thousands of kilometres.

When problems crop up, the usual tells are:

• Hard starting or a sudden stall once warm
• Erratic tacho, misfire under load, or poor fuel economy
• Stored OBD-II faults such as P0335/P0336

Diagnosis is best done with a scan tool and a simple resistance/AC output test against the service manual. If replacement is needed, owners are better off with a genuine or high-quality OEM-equivalent sensor to avoid flaky signals. Fitment is straightforward workshop work: disconnect the battery, unplug, remove the single bolt, swap the sensor, lightly oil the new O-ring, refit and torque, then clear codes and perform an idle relearn if specified. Done right, the Splash is back to smooth, reliable running, and the ECU gets the precise timing info it expects every time they twist the key.

• Where is the crank-angle sensor on a 2019 Suzuki Splash?
  The sensor is mounted on the engine block/bellhousing area, reading a reluctor on the crankshaft. On K-series petrol engines it’s typically low on the block, accessed from underneath or the front side, on the 1.3 DDiS it’s near the transmission end. A torch and a small socket make access easier.
• Does a new Splash crank-angle sensor need programming?
  Generally no. The ECU learns the signal automatically. After install, clearing fault codes and letting the engine idle until warm can help the ECU settle trims. Always follow the workshop procedure for the specific engine code.
• Can they keep driving with a failing crank-angle sensor?
  It’s risky. Intermittent failure can cause sudden stalls or no-starts, which isn’t safe. If the Splash shows P0335/P0336 or classic symptoms, plan repair promptly to avoid being stranded.
