Detailed Description

HELLA 009167141 is an engine crankshaft position sensor built to read crankshaft speed and position for the engine management system. It features a robust construction that resists temperature shock, vibration, and exposure to engine fluids, while helping reduce signal drift over time. This makes it a practical OE-style replacement for Saab vehicles that rely on stable crankshaft signal input for ignition and fuel control.

Compatible With 1999-2009 Saab 9-5, N/A; 1999-2003 Saab 9-3, N/A; and 1996-1998 Saab 900, N/A. This part cross-references Bosch 96334 and Standard Ignition PC428 for the same application. The HELLA 009167141 is also a direct-reference option for shoppers searching for a Saab 9-5 crankshaft position sensor, Saab 9-3 crankshaft sensor, or Saab 900 engine speed sensor replacement.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft speed or position signal loss
• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Intermittent stalling related to sensor signal interruption
• Misfire or timing-related drivability concerns
• Check engine light conditions tied to crank sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the 3-pin connector, 580 mm harness length, and O-ring seal before installation. The sensor uses one mounting hole and a blade-style terminal arrangement with a female terminal interface. Confirm the sensor body diameter and fitting depth match the original part on the vehicle before service. Professional installation is recommended, and the note in the product data indicates assembly/disassembly by qualified personnel is required.

Quality Assurance

HELLA tests this crankshaft position sensor for durability against temperature changes, vibration, and engine fluids. The design also focuses on stable signal output and reduced drift for consistent engine control input over time.
