Hella 013122451 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor for Ford and Mazda

The Hella Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor monitors crankshaft speed and position so the engine control system can manage ignition timing and fuel delivery accurately. This 3-pin Hall sensor is built for stable signal output and resistance to temperature shock, vibration, and exposure to engine fluids.

Compatible With Ford Mustang, Fusion, Focus, Escape, Explorer, Edge, Taurus, C-Max, MKZ, MKC, MKT, SSV Plug-In Hybrid, and Mazda 3, 5, 6, CX-7, and MX-5 Miata applications. Part number 013122451 is a direct-fit style replacement for many late-model Ford and Mazda vehicles that use a 3-pole crankshaft position sensor.

Key Features

• 3-pole Hall sensor design for crankshaft speed and position input
• Helps the engine control module maintain accurate timing data
• Built to resist temperature shock and signal drift
• Tested against vibration, temperature changes, and engine fluids
• Hella part number 013122451

Product Details

This crankshaft position sensor is used in engine management systems that rely on precise crankshaft feedback for starting, running, and timing control. The Hall sensor design provides a clean digital signal, while the rugged housing supports consistent operation in demanding underhood conditions. This part cross-references Bosch 17204 and Standard Ignition PC731 for the same application.

Common Issues It May Address

• Crankshaft speed or position signal loss
• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Intermittent stalling or rough engine operation
• Check engine light related to crank sensor faults
• Timing and synchronization errors in the engine control system

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, pole count, and engine application before installation. This sensor uses a 3-pin connector and a Hall sensor design, so matching the original electrical configuration is important for proper operation. Confirm the vehicle-specific fitment for your Ford Fusion, Ford Mustang, Mazda 3, or Mazda MX-5 Miata before replacing the original unit.

Quality Assurance

Hella tests this sensor for durability under temperature variation, vibration, and exposure to engine fluids to support reliable operation in everyday driving conditions.
