Standard Ignition PC196 crankshaft position sensor for the 1995-1999 Nissan Sentra 4-cylinder 1.6L and other vehicles sends the engine computer a signal that follows the crankshaft's rotation. Also called a crank sensor, this Standard Ignition crankshaft position sensor gives the computer the data it uses to adjust fuel and timing.
- Custom magnetic circuit programming and performance testing calibrate the sensor output to the target wheel
- End-of-line testing of timing, pulse width and signal amplitude, plus in-lab vibration and extreme temperature testing
- Integrated analog-to-digital converter with adaptive switch points for quick processing of fuel and timing adjustments
- Accurate, fast signal output that helps support fuel economy, emissions and performance
