Subaru Forester Crankshaft Position Sensor

The Crankshaft Position Sensor measures the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft so the engine control unit can set the timing of the fuel injection and the ignition. The Crankshaft Position Sensor is an electronic part that fits into a part situated nearby the main crank pulley, flywheel, camshaft, or actually on the crankshaft. It aligns the phase signals and sends impulses into the powertrain control module. In a Subaru Forester, the ECU can use the sensor's data to coordinate further engine parameters. These parameters are determined at the same time in Subaru engine management software, which gives extra benefits to the operation of the entire Forester range. Inductive, Hall effect, magnetoresistive, and optical are the four main styles of Crankshaft Position Sensors. There are passive pickups that provide inductive versions. Hall effect and magnetoresistive versions sense static magnetic fields. Optical versions provide sharp edge detection, but fouling can be a problem with these devices. Every type of Crankshaft Position Sensor serves the same basic purpose, and a faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor can prevent the Subaru Forester powertrain from starting. Further, it can cause misfires, rough idling, hesitant acceleration, or sudden shutdown when the vehicle is running. The Crankshaft Position Sensor's failure can lead to significant performance issues.
