NTK EH0256 Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor for Lexus

NTK EH0256 is an engine crankshaft position sensor built for precise engine speed and crank position signal input. It is a direct-fit replacement for select Lexus applications, including Lexus LS400, SC400, and SC300 models from the 1990s.

As part of the NTK Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor line, this sensor reflects NTK’s OE-focused approach to technical sensors for import and domestic vehicles. NTK draws on extensive automotive experience and OE application knowledge, with sensors validated through thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification testing.

Detailed Description

NTK EH0256 is engineered for vehicles that rely on accurate crankshaft position data to manage ignition timing and engine operation. For Lexus LS400, SC400, and SC300 applications, this sensor supports consistent signal delivery to the engine control system, helping maintain proper synchronization between crankshaft position and ignition events. If you are replacing a failing crank sensor on a Lexus LS400 or SC400, EH0256 provides a direct replacement option with the connector and terminal layout specified for these applications.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 180-0309 and Standard Ignition PC212 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft position signal loss
• Intermittent no-start conditions
• Rough running caused by incorrect engine timing input
• Stalling related to sensor signal interruption
• Check engine light concerns tied to crank sensor faults

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and sensor body diameter before installation. EH0256 uses a rectangular female connector with blade terminals and does not include a mounting bracket, so confirm the original mounting style on the vehicle before removal. Inspect the harness and connector for corrosion, bent terminals, or heat damage before installing the new sensor.

Quality Assurance

NTK manufactures technical sensors to meet or exceed OE specifications and validates them under thermal shock, vibration, and OBD testing. With OE supplier experience and broad aftermarket coverage, NTK supports import and domestic applications with application-specific sensor design.
