The crankshaft position sensor is an inductive type, designed to measure the speed and position of the crankshaft. The crankshaft position sensor is located on the oil pump cover opposite the drive disk on the alternator drive pulley. The driving disk is a gear wheel with 58 equidistant (6°) depressions. With this pitch, 60 teeth are placed on the disc, two teeth are sheared to create a synchronization pulse (reference pulse), which is necessary to coordinate the operation of the controller with the TDC of the pistons in the 1st and 4th cylinders.
As the crankshaft rotates, the teeth change the magnetic field of the crankshaft position sensor, inducing AC voltage pulses. The installation gap between the core of the crankshaft position sensor and the disc tooth must be within (1+0,2) mm. The controller sends pulses to the injectors based on the signals from the crankshaft position sensor.
To replace the DPKV (crankshaft position sensor) on the car you will need the key «on 10».
1. Disconnect the wire from the terminal «minus» battery.
2. Disconnect the connector with wires from the crankshaft position sensor.
3. Turn out a bolt of fastening...
4.... and remove the sensor from the oil pump cover.
5. Install the crankshaft position sensor to the vehicle in the reverse order of removal.
