Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit

45 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: Control module: a small computer that runs one part of the car · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

1What it means in plain English

The crankshaft position sensor signal is missing or unreliable, so the engine computer may not know the engine's position or speed.

2Common causes

  1. Faulty crankshaft position sensor
  2. Damaged reluctor ring or flywheel teeth
  3. Damaged wiring or connector
  4. Metal debris on the sensor tip
  5. Engine control module fault

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

If the engine still starts and runs normally, drive carefully to a workshop. A failing crankshaft sensor can cut the engine without warning; if it stalls or will not restart, have the car towed.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
