Detailed description

Hella part number 009146441 is an engine crankshaft position sensor for Ford, Mazda, and Mercury applications that require a 12V, 2-pin sensor. It is used to monitor crankshaft movement and send the signal needed by the engine management system to coordinate timing and engine operation. The sensor’s robust construction is tested for temperature changes, vibration, and exposure to engine fluids, which supports consistent signal output in demanding underhood conditions. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC323 and DENSO Auto Parts 196-6028 for the same application.

What it is used for

• Loss of crankshaft speed or position signal
• Intermittent stalling or no-start conditions
• Rough running caused by unstable sensor input
• Check engine light related to crankshaft position faults
• Timing and drivability issues tied to sensor signal drift
