DCT LINE CARD / SENSORS, ACTUATION AND CONTROL VALVES

Diesel Engine Position Sensors (CMP / CKP)

Camshaft and crankshaft position sensors provide timing information used by engine controls. A hard start or stall may have causes other than either sensor.

A similar connector or fault-code description is not enough to choose a diesel sensor or control valve. Use the complete part number and application when asking DCT for sourcing help.

Where this component fits

A sensor or control-valve fault code does not necessarily prove the component has failed; wiring, supply conditions and mechanical system behavior can be involved.

Identify the correct part before ordering

Send the CMP or CKP part number, engine family, connection style and any diagnostic codes.

Give the sensor marking, connector style and location on the engine. If there is a diagnostic code, include the code and the observed symptom rather than using the code as the part identification.

Replacement and diagnostic questions

Check connector, wiring and mounting variations before assuming any position sensor in the series will fit.

Check connection, mounting and test results before assuming a sensor or valve is the cause of a code or symptom. Sensor nomenclature can vary across engine families and is not proof of interchangeability.

Common names and related search terms

Related terms include camshaft position sensor CMP; crankshaft position sensor CKP. Sensor acronyms are useful search terms but are not a substitute for the OEM part number and connector description. Provide the complete part number and intended application when requesting a quote.
