Component Description

INFOID:0000000005257653

The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block. It senses engine

knocking using a piezoelectric element. A knocking vibration from

the cylinder block is sensed as vibrational pressure. This pressure is

converted into a voltage signal and sent to the ECM.

P0335 CKP SENSOR (POS)

P0335 CKP SENSOR (POS)

Component Description

INFOID:0000000005257658

The crankshaft position sensor (POS) is located on the A/T assem-

bly facing the gear teeth (cogs) of the signal plate. It detects the fluc-

tuation of the engine revolution.

The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.

When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth

cause the gap with the sensor to change.

The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to

change.

Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor

changes.

The ECM receives the voltage signal and detects the fluctuation of

the engine revolution.

ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.
