Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance

41 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

1What it means in plain English

The crankshaft position signal is unreliable, so the engine computer cannot tell the engine speed and position accurately.

2Common causes

  1. Faulty crankshaft position sensor
  2. Damaged or dirty reluctor ring or flywheel teeth
  3. Incorrect sensor air gap
  4. Damaged wiring or connector
  5. Metal debris on the sensor tip

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

Have it diagnosed promptly and avoid long drives: an unreliable crank signal can cause the engine to stall or refuse to start 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.
