Distributorless ignition systems require a crankshaft position sensor (CKP), and sometimes also a camshaft position sensor (CMP). These sensors serve essentially the same purpose as the ignition pickup and trigger wheel in an electronic distributor, the only difference being that the basic timing si...
DTC P0016 CRANKSHAFT POSITION – CAMSHAFT POSITION CORRELATION ( BANK 1 SENSOR A )Description, CircuitDescription, Monitor
Crankshaft speed is measured with the same sensor by counting the number of pulses over a given time period [23]. Variable Reluctance Sensor (VRS) The variable reluctance sensor uses a magnetic circuit to detect the passing of ferrous targets placed around the periphery of a timing wheel ...
The detector includes at least one sensor (1,2) with an evaluation logic circuit (7) whose parameters can be adjusted via an input (7'). The sensor can be adapted or optimised for its application or location. A control device (3) may be provided for processing the output signals of ...
