Key Features

• Hella engine crankshaft position sensor for ignition and engine management systems
• Hall sensor design for pulse signal detection
• 12V rated voltage with 3 poles
• Connector-style sensor supplied without cable
• OE-style replacement for BMW applications requiring part number 012680011

Detailed Description

Built as a crank shaft pulse sensor, this Hella unit helps the engine control system read crankshaft position data needed for spark timing and fuel delivery decisions. It is specified as a 12V, 3-pin Hall sensor and is listed without cable, making it a match for BMW vehicles that use the same connector and sensor configuration. If you are replacing a failing crankshaft position sensor on a BMW 325Ci, 330i, X3, or X5, Hella 012680011 provides the correct sensor format for those applications.

This part cross-references Bosch 96302 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft signal loss or intermittent signal faults
• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Engine stalling or sudden shutdown concerns
• Misfire or timing-related drivability issues
• Check engine light conditions tied to crank sensor performance
