Product Details

Denso 196-1003 is an engine crankshaft position sensor used to monitor crankshaft position so the engine control system can manage ignition timing with precision. Denso’s crankshaft position sensor line is built to strict OE standards and uses sensing technology aimed at accurate signal delivery under normal driving and load conditions. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC788 and Wells SU10463 for the same application. The 196-1003 is a strong match for drivers servicing Lexus GX460, Lexus LS460, Toyota Tundra, and Toyota Sequoia applications where correct crankshaft signal input is critical to engine operation.

What It Helps Solve

• Hard starting caused by an inaccurate crankshaft position signal
• Intermittent stalling related to crankshaft sensor signal loss
• Rough running from incorrect ignition timing input
• Check engine light conditions tied to crankshaft position sensor faults
• Engine misfire or hesitation linked to poor engine speed feedback

Installation Notes

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. This sensor uses a female oval connector, 3 terminals, and one mounting hole, so it should be matched carefully to the original part on the vehicle. Confirm the application by year, make, and model before replacing the sensor on Lexus LS460, Toyota Land Cruiser, or Toyota Sienna platforms.

Quality Assurance

Denso manufactures this crankshaft position sensor to OE standards with an emphasis on reliability, durability, and detection accuracy. Denso is also the OE supplier for select Lexus applications, including LX570 coverage noted in the fitment data.
