KIA Niro: Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS)
Specification
Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) Description and operation
Description
Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) is one of the most important sensors of the
engine control system
that detects the crankshaft position. Lack of CKPS signal may cause the engine
to stop.
This sensor is installed in ladder frame and generates alternating current by
magnetic flux field which
is made by the sensor and the target wheel when the engine rotates. The target
wheel consists of 58
slots and 2 missing slots on 360 CA (Crank Angle).

Installation
Warning
- Install the component to the specified torque.
- Note that internal damage may occur when the component is dropped. If the component has been dropped, inspect before installing.
- Apply engine oil to the O-ring.
- Insert the sensor in the installation hole and be careful not to damage it.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
