Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) detects the crankshaft
position and is one of the most important sensors of the engine control
system. If there is no CKPS signal input, the engine may stop because of
CKPS signal missing. This sensor is installed on the cylinder block or

The target wheel consists of 58 slots and 2 missing slots on 360 degrees CA (Crank Angle).
