How Crankshaft Position Sensor Works | CKP Sensor Explained

How does a Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor) actually work? In this video, we explain the complete working principle of the Crankshaft Position Sensor using realistic automotive animations.

Learn how the CKP sensor detects crankshaft rotation, how it generates electrical signals, and how the Engine Control Unit (ECU) uses these signals to calculate engine RPM and control ignition timing and fuel injection.
