Hella 003-153-96-28 Crankshaft Position Sensor

The Hella 003-153-96-28 is a high-quality crankshaft position sensor designed to monitor the rotational speed and precise position of the engine crankshaft. This critical engine management component sends vital data to the engine control unit (ECU) to optimize ignition timing, fuel injection, and overall engine performance.

Key Features:

• Direct-fit replacement crankshaft position sensor for select Mercedes-Benz applications
• Monitors crankshaft position and rotational speed (RPM) for accurate engine timing
• Provides essential data for precise fuel injection and ignition system control
• Manufactured by Hella, a leading OEM supplier of automotive electronic components
• Helps prevent engine misfires and ensures optimal combustion efficiency
• Replaces OEM part numbers 003-153-95-28 and 0031539528

The crankshaft position sensor is one of the most important sensors in modern engines, working in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to synchronize fuel injection and ignition timing. When the sensor detects the rotation of the crankshaft, it generates a pulsed voltage signal that allows the ECU to determine the exact position of each piston and cylinder, enabling precise control over engine operation. A failing crankshaft position sensor can result in difficult starting, rough idling, engine misfires, stalling, or prevent the engine from starting altogether.

This Hella sensor delivers reliable performance and is designed as a direct replacement for the original equipment sensor. Installation requires proper alignment and gap clearance between the sensor tip and reluctor ring for optimal performance.
