Standard Motor Products PC576 Crankshaft Position Sensor

The Standard Motor Products PC576 is an OEM replacement crankshaft position sensor designed to send precise signals to the engine control module (ECM) to determine engine RPM, crankshaft position, and engine misfire detection. This critical sensor ensures proper ignition timing and engine performance.

Key Features:

• Permanent magnet, yoke, and coil construction for reliable signal generation
• Magnetic induction technology produces AC voltage pulses as gear teeth pass the sensor
• 3-terminal connector design with matching tin-plated brass terminals for accurate, watertight connection
• Factory-installed grommets and wire clips for proper mounting during installation
• Manufactured at TS16949-certified facility with rigorous quality control
• Undergoes extensive testing including 48-64 hour vibration testing and temperature cycling from -40°F to 257°F
• Advanced circuitry protects against over-voltage, under-voltage, reverse-voltage, and short circuits
• Integrated A/D converter with digital signal processing for improved accuracy

This sensor is mounted close to a toothed gear, where each passing tooth induces a pulse into the coil. The ECM interprets these pulses to calculate engine speed and position, making it essential for proper engine operation and timing.
