Key Features

• Engine crankshaft position sensor for ignition and engine management systems
• Black housing with oval connector shape
• 1 female connector, 3 male terminals, pin terminal type
• No wiring harness included
• Package includes the sensor and instruction sheet
• OE-focused design backed by Delphi’s aftermarket and original equipment experience

Detailed Description

The Delphi SS12089 crankshaft position sensor monitors crankshaft position and rotational speed so the engine control module can manage spark timing and fuel delivery accurately. When the signal from the crank sensor becomes weak or inconsistent, drivability problems can appear quickly. This Delphi replacement is built for the fitment and electrical connection requirements found across Audi and Volkswagen platforms, including 2013-2020 Audi A4, 2017-2020 Audi A4 allroad, 2013-2020 Audi Q5, 2018-2023 Volkswagen Atlas, and 2020-2023 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. Part number SS12089 is also listed with OE-style cross references for direct replacement use.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard starting or extended cranking
• Intermittent stalling or sudden engine shutoff
• Check engine light related to crankshaft position signal faults
• Rough running, misfire symptoms, or unstable idle
• Loss of accurate engine timing input to the ECU

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. This sensor uses a single oval female connector with three terminals and does not include a wiring harness. Inspect the mounting area and related wiring for damage, oil intrusion, or corrosion before installing the new sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after replacement and confirm proper engine operation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this sensor using OE-focused engineering informed by more than a century of original equipment experience. That background helps support consistent fit, signal accuracy, and dependable replacement performance for Audi and Volkswagen crankshaft position sensor applications.
