The crankshaft position (BCPR) sensor is important for engine operation. It's one of the few sensors in which the machine is not likely to be locked up. The main function of the colenshaft position sensor is the transmission to the engine control unit of information on the position of pistons in cylinders.

According to statistics, the crankshaft position sensor is not very often built, but if the indirect evidence indicates that the BCPR "has died", it should be checked. To do this, you need to know where the crankshaft position sensor is located.

The location of the DMV may vary from one vehicle to the other. The general rule when looking for a crankshaft position sensor is to find it in the generator area of the generator, and is mounted on a special arm. The distinctive feature of the enchanal position is the long line with the connector that is coming from it.

Examples of position of the crankshaft on different vehicles

In the case of VAZ injection vehicles (for example, in the case of VAZ 2110, 2111, 2112, etc.) the wheel position sensor is located in the belt of the generator's belt-on the oil pump cover.


On the car of Daw Neksy, the location of the DCPR depends on the type of motor. On the F16MF engine, it is located opposite the target (disc) at the back end of the crankshaft, and on the A15MF, G15MF and A15SMS motors, in front of the defining disc in the crankshaft.

To reach the crankshaft position at Reno Logan (motors 1.4 and 1.6 litres), it is necessary to remove the hose from the air filter. The BCPR is located at the bottom right in the cylinder block area. The sensor can be easily identified with two holes in the mounting plate.

On the vehicle of Hendai Sonata, the crankshaft position is located below the cover of the GRM straits. A chip with a contact from DEPV goes directly to the casing of the valve cover.

If you are unable to determine where the crankshaft sensor is located in your car, you should consult the technical documentation for the specific modification or ask the specialists.
