Denso 196-4009 Crankshaft Position Sensor

Denso Crankshaft Positioning Sensors

Denso crankshaft positioning sensors detect crankshaft rotation during the engine-combustion cycle. Denso produces both magnetic resistant element (MRE) type and magnetic pick-up (MPU) type sensors.

Features and benefits of Denso crankshaft positioning sensors include:

* Denso MRE sensors have a pair of MREs on an integrated circuit (IC) chip; this unique design is extremely accurate, even just after an engine is started
* The molded IC chip is installed inside a cylindrical magnet so it is positioned closer to the gears that rotate with the crankshaft--a design almost 10 times more sensitive than Hall element type sensors
* Denso uses a polyphenylene sulfide resin coating over the molded IC chip and cylindrical magnet for greater strength and superior resistance to substances like fuel, engine oil, and emission byproducts
