GF07.04-P-6010MCC Component Description For Crankshaft Position Sensor







L5 Crankshaft position sensor

Location
The crankshaft position sensor is located at the bottom right on the cylinder crankcase.

Task
The crankshaft position sensor detects the crankshaft position and motor speed.







L5 Crankshaft position sensor

a Tooth front edge
b Tooth rear edge
c Gap (2 teeth missing)
h Signal of crankshaft position sensor
l Screened signal line
s Coil (inductive)
u Signal voltage

Function
The front edge of a tooth on the clutch plate generates a positive voltage pulse and the rear edge generates a negative one. The distance from the positive to the negative voltage peak corresponds to the length of a tooth.
The gap produced by 2 missing teeth results in no voltage being generated in the crankshaft position sensor. This gap is used for detecting the TDC position of cylinder 1.

The distance between the crankshaft position sensor and the teeth of the drive plate is specified by the installation position.
