Function
The CKP sensor provides the ECM with a signal
that indicates crankshaft speed and position. As the
crankshaft turns the CKP sensor detects a 60 tooth
timing disk on the crankshaft. Teeth 59 and 60 are
missing. By comparing the CKP signal with the CMP
signal, the ECM calculates engine rpm and timing

requirements. The CKP is installed in the top left side
of the flywheel housing.
The sensor produces pulses for each tooth edge
that passes it. Crankshaft speed is derived from the
frequency of the CKP sensor signal. The crankshaft
position is determined by synchronizing the SYNC
tooth with the SYNC gap signals from the target
disk.
can calculate engine rpm and timing requirements.
Diagnostic information on the CKP input signal
is obtained by performing accuracy checks on
frequency, and duty cycle with software strategies.

diesel engines, is the Camshaft Position (CMP)
sensor used with other International® diesel engines.
