Delphi SS11253 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Delphi SS11253 Crankshaft Position Sensor

Delphi SS11253 is an engine crankshaft position sensor built for accurate crankshaft signal input on select BMW applications. It uses a black housing with a rectangular female connector, 2 male terminals, and a blade-style terminal design for a direct-fit electrical connection.

Compatible with 2000-2003 BMW X5 and 2003 BMW Z8, this crankshaft position sensor supports proper engine timing signal delivery for OE-style replacement needs. Delphi draws on OE heritage and supplier experience used by major automakers, and the SS11253 follows that approach in the aftermarket.

Key Features

• Delphi engine crankshaft position sensor, part number SS11253
• Black sensor body with 1 rectangular connector
• Female connector with 2 male blade terminals
• Wiring harness not included
• Package includes the sensor and instruction sheet
• Direct replacement for select BMW X5 and BMW Z8 applications

Detailed Description

The Delphi SS11253 crankshaft position sensor monitors crankshaft position and sends the signal needed for engine control timing calculations. On 2000-2003 BMW X5 and 2003 BMW Z8 applications, a stable crankshaft signal helps the engine control module manage ignition timing and fuel delivery more accurately. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC534 for the same application.

Delphi’s OE background is reflected in the sensor design and connector layout, making SS11253 a practical replacement when the original crankshaft position sensor is failing or producing inconsistent readings. Use SS11253 when you need a replacement sensor for BMW X5 or BMW Z8 crankshaft position sensor service.

What It Helps Fix

• Crankshaft signal loss or intermittent signal output
• Hard starting caused by incorrect engine position data
• Stalling related to crankshaft sensor failure
• Check engine light conditions tied to crankshaft position sensor faults
• Rough running from inaccurate ignition timing input

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and sensor location before installation. Inspect the harness connector for corrosion, bent terminals, or damaged locking tabs before plugging in the new sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm proper engine operation on the BMW X5 or BMW Z8 application.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this sensor with OE-focused engineering informed by more than 100 years of original equipment experience and supplier knowledge used by leading automakers. Part number SS11253 is made to meet the electrical and fitment requirements of the listed BMW applications.
