Service Overview

Crankshaft converts reciprocating motion to rotational motion. It is how you get your car to move. If you know how an engine operates, the piston reciprocates as fuel burns and the gases are emitted. The piston is connected to the crankshaft via a connecting rod.

The crankshaft position sensor is an electronic device used in an internal combustion engine, both petrol and diesel, to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft. This information is used by engine management systems to control the fuel injection or the ignition system timing and other engine parameters.
