| L5 Crankshaft position sensor
The crankshaft position sensor is located at transmission end, under the left cylinder bank. |

| P07.04-2341-11 |
| Task
The crankshaft position sensor detects the crankshaft position and motor speed contactlessly over the teeth of the driven plate (incremental gear). |
Design
It consists of a plastic housing with an interior inductive coil and a 2-pin plug contact. 
The clearance between the crankshaft position sensor and the teeth of the driven plate incremental gear is fixed by the installation position (approx. 0.8 mm). |
| Function
L5 Crankshaft position sensor a Tooth leading edge b Tooth trailing edge c Gap (2 teeth missing) h Signal of crankshaft position sensor l Screened signal line s Coil (inductive) The front edge of a tooth (a) generates a positive voltage pulse and the rear edge (b) a negative voltage pulse. The distance from the positive to the negative voltage peak equals the length of a tooth. The gap (c) produced by 2 missing teeth results in no voltage being generated in the crankshaft position sensor. This gap is used to recognize the top dead center position of cylinders 1 and 6. |
