Detailed Description

Built to strict OE standards, the Denso 196-6022 crankshaft position sensor is engineered to provide reliable crankshaft speed and position feedback to the engine control system. That signal helps the PCM manage ignition timing with greater precision, which is important for smooth operation across the Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Ford Mustang, and Mercury Mountaineer applications listed above. If you are replacing a failing crank sensor on a 1997-2011 Ford Explorer or a 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, this part number is a direct-fit service option for the confirmed vehicles shown in the fitment data.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft position signal loss or erratic signal output
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions
• Intermittent stalling or engine cut-out concerns
• Ignition timing control issues caused by a faulty sensor
• Check engine light concerns related to crankshaft position input

Installation Notes

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. This sensor uses a female oval connector with 2 male blade terminals and a single mounting hole. No wiring harness or mounting bracket is included, so reuse existing vehicle components where applicable and inspect the connector, wiring, and mounting surface for damage before installation.

Quality Assurance

Denso manufactures this crankshaft position sensor to OE standards for reliable durability and detection accuracy. The 196-6022 is built to support consistent signal delivery in the confirmed Ford and Mercury applications listed in the fitment data.
