Detailed Description

The Delphi SS11995 crankshaft position sensor monitors crankshaft rotation and sends the signal the engine control system uses for ignition timing and fuel delivery calculations. For BMW vehicles, a stable crank signal is critical to smooth starting, consistent idle quality, and accurate engine operation. This part number, SS11995, is built for select BMW M2, M4, M3, X5, X6, 335i, 535i, 640i, X3, X4, and other covered applications listed in the fitment data.

Delphi draws on OE knowledge developed over decades of supplying automakers, and that experience is reflected in the sensor’s connector design, terminal layout, and harness integration. This makes the SS11995 a practical replacement choice when servicing BMW crankshaft position sensor faults on turbocharged and performance-oriented models.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Intermittent stalling or sudden engine shutdown
• Check engine light related to crankshaft signal faults
• Rough idle or inconsistent engine speed readings
• Misfire or timing-related drivability concerns

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and harness routing before installation. The SS11995 uses a female oval connector with 3 terminals, so matching the OE-style connection is important for proper fitment. Inspect the mounting area and surrounding wiring for oil contamination, heat damage, or broken clips before installing the new sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after replacement and confirm stable engine operation during a road test.
