    Magnetic inductive sensors are very commonly used on modern vehicles and their failure can cause all kinds of problems: Difficulty starting, acceleration problems, engine speed 'hunting', increased fuel consumption and even the engine cutting out while driving.

I cleaned all grounds, rebuilt my fuse box, new ECU, cleaned everything........no changes UNTIL i just now decided to swap back in the old CKP sensor. All the electrical clicking, etc went away immediately and Im not going thru the KEY RELEARN process for the new ECU

    My Nissan Almera 1.5 Petrol 2004 is having really bad starts. In very cold weather it's even worse. I can get it to run eventually but it throws up the code for bad crankshaft sensor. I had it changed back in July and everything was fine for around 8 weeks then the old symptoms started again and the code reappeared. Could it just be that the sensor has gone bad or could the chain be stretching? Love your videos by the way!

  • @joelvermiglio2097
    @joelvermiglio2097 Před 4 lety

    Nice vid and diagrams but you got your wires a bit crossed towards the end (pun intended).
    The indicative sensor you’re describing has an output voltage proportional to the rpm of the reluctor - you demonstrated that nicely with the salad spinner and these are used in applications where speed information is required, but position is not. You went a bit awry when you mentioned the missing tooth “which helps the ECM”.
    The missing tooth trigger wheel (used by most vehicles crank shaft sensors and commonly a 32:1 or 60:2 - teeth to missing teeth arrangement) is a feature of Hall effect sensors. These produce a square wave wrt (usually) a 5v reference and it is the frequency which changes with rpm, rather than output voltage. The engine management can interpret this frequency as engine speed, and will spot the missing tooth as it passes. From this it will know both speed and the position of the crankshaft relative to top dead centre and can time ignition and fuelling to suit.
    This video is years old now though so I’m sure it’s since been covered by you!

    So does it mean tht if the camshaft sensor doesn't give voltage when cranking its dead n the car won't start coz I hv a Mercedes v6 it cranks but no start so wht I did is I took my voltmeter put it on 20v the plg in my negative voltmeter wire on negative wire of the camshaft sensor then I plugged the posetive voltmeter wire on the signal wire of the camshaft it gv me 5v then when I place a metal on the cam shat the voltage it's dropping to zero dies it mean the sensor is dead or I'm the one who's testing it the other way round

  • @4CarbideGaming
    @4CarbideGaming Před 4 lety

    Can a failing crank shaft position sensor cause the engines timing to be off thus causing you to burn more fuel but not actually bad enough to throw a code. Also jeep will stumpble studder and back fire upon restarting if still hot. Sometimes will completly stall out and ill have to wait to reatart it. Starts fine in the am but getting ritten gas mileage. Assume everything else is new and in working order.

    • @dannymartinez8314
      @dannymartinez8314 Před rokem

      I'm not sure you would be able to keep the engine running had the sensor completely failed and would it start to fail, you would have to keep pressing the gas pedal lightly to keep the engine from stalling which would use a lot of gas and almost impossible to keep the engine from stalling. I could be wrong, not all vehicle's operate the same.

    • @christopher_barr
      @christopher_barr  Před 4 lety

      There will be a clearance with the sensor tightened to the correct torque (i.e. you don't need to back it off)

  • @filipturk9856
    @filipturk9856 Před 7 lety

    Hi Chris !
    Is it possible that the sensor perform if we have the coil around the permanent magnet. (without part 1 ) I assume that the permanent magnet will make its own magnetic field and when the ferrous material pass by that field it will generate the voltage impulse so we know RPM. So why exactly is that soft iron core needed ? Is it because they can connect to each other or what ?
    (sorry for bad english)

    • @christopher_barr
      @christopher_barr  Před 7 lety

      Hi Filip :-)
      This is an interesting question. I just sketched some drawings of the magnetic flux from the magnet in the two versions of the sensor (one with a soft iron core, and one where there is no soft iron core and the copper coil is arranged directly around the permanent magnet.)
      These sketches demonstrated that the soft iron core serves to concentrate and extend the flux in the centre of the copper coil. With the coil wrapped around the permanent magnet itself the flux is much less concentrated than it is with a soft iron core, so the voltages produced by the coil would be weaker. Another reason I can think of is that permanent magnets can be de-magnetised with hot-cold temperature cycling, whereas the soft iron core can protrude from the sensor and be exposed to changes in temperature, whilst the magnet is protected from extreme temperature changes by being hidden inside the sensor body.
      This is my best guess, if any other viewers have any opinions, please feel free to contribute by commenting below. (P.S. Filip you speak better English than some British people I have met! 😂) Cheers, Chris

    • @kv4atv
      @kv4atv Před rokem

      When you put Ferrous metal, "nail, a bolt or piece of metal the magnet will stick to" against the end of the permanent magnet it extends the magnetic field to the end of the metal you just brought in contact with it. That with a coil of wire around it will now send an A/C pulse that can be measured from the 2 wires of the copper coil. A fun way to visualize the effect it to take a piece of metal, say a bolt and place a fairly strong magnet to the end of it. It sticks to the magnet. Now, bring the end of the bolt not the magnet close to another piece of metal and it will stick to the first bolt. The magnet field is extended through and into the metal bolt or bolts. If you remove the 2nd bolt and wind some copper wire around the bolt then hook it to a meter set on a fairly low voltage setting or better yet and oscilloscope then take a piece of metal, ie.. another bolt like or even the 2nd one you just removed from the end of the first one then wave it close to the end of the bolt with the copper wire around it. You should get a reading. Likewise if you pull the magnet off the bolt with the copper wire and wave one end of it close to the bolt with the copper wire you should also get a reading. Hope this helps.

  • @ishatoncoppercab
    @ishatoncoppercab Před 4 lety

    The theory is correct, but most of the crankshaft pos. sensors I run into work on a 5Vdc reference voltage- NOT AC. These sensors typically "pull down" from 5v to 0v as the reluctor passes, creating a square wave pattern (when viewed via an oscilloscope) that the PCM uses to index the location of the crankshaft.
