What is the purpose of the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) on Ford Excursion?

The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) determines the timing on each cylinder for the fuel injectors and ignition system. The crankshaft sensor is mounted near the crankshaft pulley. A problem in the crank-shaft sensor circuit will set a diagnostic trouble code. Make sure the ignition key is in the OFF position. Remove the air conditioning compressor. On 2004 models it is not necessary to remove the compressor. It is possible to simply lower the compressor about an inch for access to the sensor. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Working under the vehicle, disconnect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector. Remove the bolt and detach the sensor. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Ford Excursion Crankshaft Position Sensor

Crankshaft Position Sensor in Ford Excursion vehicles is an engine control unit that measures crankshaft position and its speed. It relays this information to the powertrain control module and assists in controlling the exact amount of fuel to be injected into the engine as well as the time in which the fuel has to be ignited for the premier performance of the engine. Different crankshaft position sensors have been used and they include inductive, Hall Effect sensors, magnetoresistive and optical sensors. Inductive sensors are nondirectional, and Hall and magnetoresistive sensors respond to steady magnetic field. A particular kind of contact sensors is optical sensors - they give a high accuracy of edge detection but may be easily coated with fouling. The sensor is commonly located on the crank pulley, flywheel or crankshaft directly and the failure of the sensor may cause starting problems or stalling of the engine. In general, Crankshaft Position Sensor is one of the essential components in controlling the parameters of Ford Excursion automobiles.
