Crankshaft Position Sensor of Ford Explorer Sport Trac is a very essential electronic sensor that helps for detecting the crankshaft position in the car and its speed of rotation. This information is sent to the powertrain control module and it aids in the regulation of fuel injection and ignition timing for the optimal performance of the engine. Different crankshaft position sensors have been used which include the inductive type, the Hall Effect type, the magnetoresistive and the optical type. Inductive sensors are non-active while those of Hall Effect, magnetoresistive can sense only static magnetic fields. Optical sensors give great edge detection but can be easily coated over or fouled over which affects their performance. The sensor is usually fixed on the crank pulley, flywheel or directly to the crank shaft and a failure in it may cause starting problems or engine stalling. All in all, the Crankshaft Position Sensor is a vital component in the present era's vehicle engine management systems.
