It also matches OE-style service needs for vehicles such as the 2011-2012 Toyota Corolla, 2002-2011 Toyota Camry, 2001-2008 Toyota RAV4, 2001-2007 Toyota Highlander, 2002-2008 Toyota Solara, 2005-2010 Scion tC, 2011-2013 Scion xB, 2014-2015 Scion xB, 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix, and 2010-2012 Lexus HS250h.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft position signal loss or erratic signal output
• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Rough idle or unstable engine speed
• Ignition timing concerns related to sensor input
• Check engine light conditions tied to crankshaft position sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal style, and harness length against the original sensor before installation. Inspect the mounting point and electrical connector for corrosion, bent terminals, or damaged wiring before connecting the new sensor. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model, since fitment varies across Toyota, Scion, and Lexus platforms.
