Standard Ignition Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor P/N:PC474
Keep your Mercedes-Benz firing on time with the Standard Ignition Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor PC338. This sensor tracks crankshaft rotation and position and reports it to the engine control module, which uses that signal to manage fuel delivery and ignition timing. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1992 Mercedes-Benz 400E, 1992-1993 500E, 1992-1993 500SEL, 1994-1995 C220, 1994-1996 C280, 1995-1996 C36 AMG, 1994-1995 E420, 1994 E500, 1994-1995 S500, and 1996 SL320 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Accurate timing: Custom magnetic circuit programming and performance testing calibrate the relationship between the target wheel and sensor output.
Superior operation: Integrated with an analog-to-digital converter plus adaptive switch points for quick processing of fuel and timing adjustments.
Extensively tested: End-of-line testing for timing, pulse width, and signal amplitude, along with in-lab vibration and extreme-temperature testing.
Mercedes-Benz specific: Specially engineered for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Designed to support fuel economy, emissions, and performance through accurate, durable signal output.
If a failed crankshaft position sensor is behind a no-start, stalling, or misfire, this replaces it.
