Modern vehicles rely heavily on sensors to control engine timing, fuel injection, and ignition. Among the most critical are the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) and the Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP).
When either of these sensors fails, the engine can misfire, stall, or refuse to start. For garages, correctly identifying which sensor is at fault is essential to avoid misdiagnosis, unnecessary part replacement, and customer dissatisfaction.
This guide explains the difference between crankshaft and camshaft sensor failures, their symptoms, and how workshops can diagnose them accurately.
