Hitachi CPS0138 Crankshaft Position Sensor

Hitachi CPS0138 is an engine crankshaft position sensor built to deliver accurate crankshaft speed and position signals to the ECU. For Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, Sonata, Tucson, and Kia Optima, Sportage, Sorento, and related applications, it supports precise engine timing and consistent electronic control.

Key Features

  • 3-terminal blade connector with male connector gender for a direct-fit electrical connection
  • Engine crankshaft position sensor for ECU signal accuracy
  • Built with quality components and materials to support a longer service interval
  • Designed for specific vehicle applications rather than universal fitment
  • Cross-references OE-style part numbers 3918025200 and 3918025300 for the same application

Detailed Description

This Hitachi crankshaft position sensor, part number CPS0138, is engineered for vehicles that rely on accurate crankshaft position data to manage ignition and engine operation. It is used in a wide range of Hyundai and Kia models, including 2013-2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, 2005-2014 Hyundai Sonata, 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson, 2007-2016 Kia Optima, 2011-2016 Kia Sportage, and 2011-2015 Kia Sorento. The sensor’s blade-style, 3-terminal male connector supports a secure electrical interface while helping the ECU receive the signals it needs for stable engine control.

What It Helps Solve

  • Hard starting caused by incorrect crankshaft position input
  • Intermittent stalling related to unstable engine speed signals
  • Rough running from inconsistent ECU timing data
  • Check engine light concerns tied to crankshaft sensor faults
  • Misfire or hesitation symptoms associated with sensor signal loss

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. This part uses a 3-terminal blade connector with a male connector gender, so matching the electrical interface is important for proper fitment. Confirm the exact model year, especially for 2015 Hyundai Sonata applications noted as valid to 09/01/2015, and for 2006 Kia Optima applications noted from 01/12/2005.

Quality Assurance

Hitachi designs this crankshaft position sensor with high-quality components and materials to support dependable signal transmission and consistent service life. As an OE-focused replacement part, CPS0138 is built for the specific demands of the listed Hyundai and Kia applications.
