Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor Overview

NTK EH0162 is an engine crankshaft position sensor for a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty applications. It is built with a 3-terminal blade connection, a single oblong connector, and a female connector interface for direct replacement service.

Compatible with Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, Chevrolet Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra 2500 HD, and GMC Yukon XL 2500 applications, this sensor supports accurate crankshaft signal input for engine management systems. The NTK EH0162 part number is also referenced in interchange listings for related OE-style applications.

Key Features

• Engine crankshaft position sensor for ignition and engine management systems
• 3 blade terminals with a single oblong female connector
• Sensor body diameter measures 0.730
• Mounting bracket not included
• NTK technical sensor built from OE application experience

Detailed Application Notes

NTK Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor EH0162 is engineered for vehicles that rely on precise crankshaft position feedback to manage spark timing and engine operation. The fitment list includes Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak, C5500 Kodiak, C6500 Kodiak, C7500 Kodiak, Silverado 2500 HD, Silverado 3500, Avalanche 2500, Suburban 2500, and GMC Topkick, Sierra, and Yukon XL heavy-duty platforms. The EH0162 part number appears across multiple model years, including 2001-2009 coverage, with some applications noting a possible relearn procedure after installation.

NTK draws on OE sensor experience and subjects its technical sensors to thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification testing. That approach supports consistent signal quality and OE-level specification control for import and domestic vehicle coverage. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC269 and Dorman - OE Solutions 917-797 for the same application.

Common Issues This Sensor May Address

• Intermittent or missing crankshaft position signal
• Engine stalling or hard starting related to sensor failure
• Check engine light triggered by crankshaft sensor faults
• Rough running caused by inaccurate engine speed input
• Driveability problems after crankshaft sensor degradation

Installation Notes and Quality Assurance

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and sensor body dimensions before installation. Some listed applications may require a relearn procedure after replacement, so consult factory service information for the exact vehicle. The mounting bracket is not included.

NTK states that its technical sensors are manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications and are validated through thermal shock, vibration, and OBD testing. EH0162 is part of NTK's broader sensor line developed under the NGK family of automotive products.
