Task 

The crankshaft sensor records the crankshaft position via the teeth of the drive plate (incremental wheel) without any contact and detects the engine speed.

Input and output signals 

Direct output signals 

IMPORTANT This signal from the crankshaft sensor together with the signal from the camshaft sensor (B6/23) serves to recognize cylinder 1. If the signal from the crankshaft Hall sensor is not available to the CDI control unit, the CDI control unit uses the signal from the camshaft Hall sensor as a substitute value for the engine start.

Function 

The crankshaft sensor inductively generates a voltage signal which is used by the CDI control unit for the crankshaft position and for determination of the rotation of the crankshaft. A certain number of pulses (60 - 2) are output for each crankshaft revolution.
