Hella 009146071 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor Overview

This Hella engine crankshaft position sensor is built for accurate crankshaft position detection in supported Ford, Mazda, and Mercury applications. It uses an inductive sensor design with a 2-pole, 12V electrical setup for signal generation in the engine management system.

Part number 009146071 is a direct-fit style replacement for select vehicles that require a sensor without cable. It is a practical choice for drivers searching for a Ford Escape crankshaft position sensor, a Ford Focus crankshaft position sensor, or a Mazda Tribute crankshaft position sensor.

Key Features

• Inductive sensor design for crankshaft position signal output
• 2-pole construction with 12V rated voltage
• 400 ohm resistance and 10% tolerance
• Sensor supplied without cable
• Hella part number 009146071

Detailed Description

Hella 009146071 is an engine crankshaft position sensor engineered to monitor crankshaft position for the engine control system. The inductive design supports signal generation based on crankshaft movement, while the 2-pole layout and 400 ohm resistance define the sensor’s electrical characteristics. This part number 009146071 is listed for 2000-2004 Ford Focus, 2001-2004 Ford Escape, 2001-2004 Mazda Tribute, 1995-1997 Mercury Mystique, and 1995 Ford Contour applications.

This sensor is relevant when diagnosing crank signal faults on a Ford Escape, Ford Focus, or Mazda Tribute that uses this exact application. It cross-references Standard Ignition 29656 and Beck/Arnley 180-0428 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring crankshaft position signal input to the engine control system
• Addressing intermittent no-start conditions tied to crank signal loss
• Correcting stalling caused by an unreliable crankshaft position reading
• Resolving misfire or drivability issues related to inaccurate engine timing data
• Replacing a worn or failed crankshaft position sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, pole count, and electrical specifications before installation. This sensor is supplied without cable, so confirm the vehicle harness and mounting arrangement match the application before replacement. Use the fitment data to confirm the exact year, make, and model before ordering.
