Circuit/System Description

Circuit Description
5 V Reference Regulated voltage supplied by the control module.
Signal The control module input circuit has an internal resistance connected to 5 V.
Low Reference Grounded through the control module.
Component Description
B26 Crankshaft Position Sensor The sensor contains a hall-effect sensor and additional electronics that processes the signal. It detects the change of strength of the magnetic field caused by the reluctor ring. When the strength

consumes. This results in a square wave signal of current and voltage. The control module detects the frequency in which the signal changes, which is proportional to the rotational speed.
K20 Engine Control Module The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.
Reluctor Ring There are 58 teeth or invisible magnetic segments on the edge of the crankshaft position reluctor ring mounted on the crankshaft. Each tooth or magnetic segment on the ring is spaced at a 60 segment spacing with 2 missing segments for a reference gap.

The ECM uses information from the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor(s) for sequencing and timing of the spark events.
