• Black sensor body with 1 square female connector
• 2 male blade terminals for OE-style electrical connection
• Wiring harness included for the listed application
• Package contents include the sensor and instruction sheet
• Delphi SS12138 is backed by OE heritage and aftermarket engineering experience

Application Details

Compatible with 1999-2004 Honda Odyssey, 2003-2004 Honda Pilot, 2001-2003 Acura CL, 1999-2003 Acura TL, and 2001-2002 Acura MDX. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC270 for the same application.

Delphi SS12138 is engineered for vehicles that rely on accurate crankshaft position input for ignition timing and engine control. On select Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Acura CL, Acura TL, and Acura MDX models, a failing sensor can disrupt signal delivery to the engine computer and affect drivability. Delphi’s OE-focused manufacturing background is reflected in the sensor design and connector layout.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Intermittent no-start condition related to crankshaft signal loss
• Stalling or sudden engine shutdown
• Rough running caused by inconsistent engine speed data
• Check engine light triggered by crankshaft position sensor faults
• Hard starting after heat soak or extended driving

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and harness routing before installation. Inspect the mating connector for corrosion or damaged terminals, and clear diagnostic trouble codes after replacement if required by the vehicle system. Confirm fitment against the listed Honda and Acura model years before ordering.
