Delphi SS12164 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Delphi SS12164 Crankshaft Position Sensor

Restore accurate engine speed and crankshaft signal input with the Delphi SS12164 engine crankshaft position sensor. Built with Delphi’s OE-focused engineering background, this replacement sensor is made for Ford and Lincoln applications that rely on precise crankshaft timing data for smooth operation.

Compatible with select 2011-2024 Ford F-150, 2015-2024 Ford Transit-150, Transit-250, Transit-350, Transit-350 HD, 2015-2024 Lincoln Navigator, 2013-2022 Ford Explorer, and other listed Ford and Lincoln models, the Delphi SS12164 is a direct-fit sensor for vehicles using a 3-terminal, female oval connector design.

Key Features

• Engine crankshaft position sensor for ignition and engine management systems
• Black and gray housing
• Oval connector shape with 1 connector and 3 terminals
• Female connector with male terminal gender
• No wiring harness included
• Package includes the sensor and instruction sheet
• Cross-reference part numbers include BL3Z 6C315-B and CSS1549

Detailed Description

The Delphi SS12164 crankshaft position sensor is built for Ford F-150, Ford Transit, Lincoln Navigator, Ford Expedition, Ford Explorer, Ford GT, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, and Lincoln MKT applications listed in the fitment data. It provides the crankshaft position signal the engine control system uses to manage ignition timing, fuel delivery, and engine synchronization. Delphi draws on long OE experience and supplier knowledge to produce aftermarket parts that follow the needs of modern engine systems.

This part number, SS12164, is a practical replacement choice when the original crankshaft sensor has failed or is sending inconsistent data. It is also a direct cross-reference for BL3Z 6C315-B and CSS1549 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting or no-start conditions related to crankshaft signal loss
• Intermittent stalling caused by an unstable engine speed signal
• Rough running or misfire concerns tied to timing input errors
• Check engine light conditions associated with crankshaft position sensor faults
• Loss of engine synchronization data in Ford and Lincoln ignition systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. The Delphi SS12164 uses a female oval connector with 3 terminals and does not include a wiring harness. Inspect the mounting area and related wiring for damage, corrosion, or oil contamination before replacing the sensor. After installation, clear diagnostic trouble codes and confirm proper engine operation.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this sensor with OE-oriented engineering and manufacturing knowledge developed through decades of supplying major automakers. That background supports consistent fitment and signal performance for the listed Ford and Lincoln applications.
