Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

CKP sensor is a Hall Effect magnetic switch. The Hall Effect switch is activated by vanes on the crankshaft damper and pulley assembly. The Profile Ignition Pick-Up (PIP) is a crankshaft position signal that is sent to the PCM. The PIP signal generated by the Hall Effect sensor provides base timing and RPM information to the PCM.
