Parts for your 2024 Toyota Camry-Crank angle sensor

2024 Toyota Camry crank angle sensor — what it does and how to look after it

Yes, the 2024 Toyota Camry uses a crank angle sensor (commonly called the crankshaft position sensor or CKP). This is documented in Toyota’s service literature for the 2024 Camry (Toyota TIS Repair Manual) and the New Car Features manuals for the A25A-FKS/A25A-FXS Dynamic Force engines. The 2GR-FKS V6 (where fitted in some markets) also lists a CKP. Engineering references such as Toyota’s New Car Features and SAE technical coverage of the Dynamic Force 2.5‑litre engine (e.g., SAE 2017-01-1021) describe MRE/Hall-effect style crank and cam sensors used for precise ignition, injection and VVT control. Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalogue likewise shows a dedicated crankshaft position sensor for these powertrains.

On a 2024 Camry, the crank angle sensor tracks crankshaft position and rotation speed to the degree. The engine ECU uses that data to fire the spark at the right moment, deliver the correct fuel, run variable valve timing, and on hybrids, sync engine start/stop with the e‑motor. Lose that signal and the Camry can be hard to start, run rough, or stall, lose it entirely and it usually won’t start at all.

There’s no scheduled replacement for the CKP on a Camry, it’s a “fit and forget” item until wear, damage or wiring faults appear. As part of regular servicing, a good workshop will:

• Visually check the sensor connector and harness routing near the crank pulley/lowest timing cover.
• Look for oil leaks that could wick into the connector or soften the loom sheathing.
• On MRE/Hall sensors, make sure the mounting is clean so the air gap to the reluctor ring stays correct, don’t pack shims or sealant behind the flange.

If symptoms show up—extended cranking, intermittent stalling, tachometer dropouts, or DTCs like P0335–P0339—a proper diagnosis is key. That means scan-tool data, resistance and supply checks (5 V ref/ground), and if needed an oscilloscope to confirm a clean square-wave signal. Because failed CKPs can mimic ignition coil or cam sensor issues, guessing costs time and money.

Replacement is straightforward but precision matters. Use a quality OEM-equivalent sensor, lightly oil the O‑ring, seat it square, and tighten to the workshop manual’s torque. Keep metal filings off the tip. Reconnect the harness with the clip fully latched, clear DTCs, and complete a short road test/drive cycle. On hybrids, make the vehicle safe (READY off) and disconnect the 12‑volt negative terminal before unplugging engine sensors. If the MIL returns, recheck the harness—heat and road grit down low can chafe insulation near brackets.

A well-fitted CKP helps the Camry keep its smooth idle, crisp throttle, and low fuel burn—exactly what owners expect from Toyota’s latest Dynamic Force and hybrid setups.

FAQs

Does the 2024 Toyota Camry have a crank angle sensor?
It does. Toyota labels it the crankshaft position sensor (CKP). It provides exact crank angle and speed so the ECU can control spark, fuel and variable valve timing, and on hybrids, coordinate engine restarts.

What are common signs or fault codes of a bad CKP on a 2024 Camry?
Hard starting, intermittent stalling at idle, sudden loss of power, or a dead no‑start. Typical fault codes include P0335 to P0339. Because wiring damage can trigger the same codes, testing the loom and connector is just as important as the sensor itself.

Should the CKP be replaced as routine maintenance?
No. There’s no set interval. It’s replaced on condition—when testing confirms it’s faulty. During services, a quick inspection of the connector, loom and any nearby oil leaks helps prevent future dramas.
