Detailed Description

Delphi SS12168 is an engine crankshaft position sensor for Hyundai and Kia vehicles that rely on accurate crankshaft signal data for ignition timing and engine control. Delphi draws on more than a century of OE experience, and that background is reflected in the fit, connector design, and application coverage for models such as the Hyundai Sonata, Tucson, Veloster N, and Kia Sportage.

This part cross-references 39180-2G000 for the same application. Use the SS12168 when replacing a failed crank sensor on supported Hyundai and Kia platforms, including 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata and 2016-2020 Kia Optima applications.

Common Issues This Part May Resolve

• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Intermittent stalling or sudden engine shutdown
• Check engine light related to crankshaft position signal faults
• Rough running, misfire symptoms, or unstable idle caused by incorrect engine speed input
• No-start conditions tied to crankshaft sensor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm connector shape, terminal count, and harness routing before installation. Inspect the mating connector and wiring for corrosion, bent terminals, or heat damage, and clear any stored diagnostic trouble codes after the repair. Verify the sensor is seated correctly and that the harness is secured away from moving or hot engine components.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds aftermarket parts using OE-focused engineering knowledge and long-standing supplier experience with major automakers. The SS12168 is designed as a direct replacement sensor for the listed Hyundai and Kia applications.
