Detailed Description

Built for ignition and engine management service, the Spectra S10568 crankshaft position sensor provides the signal the control system uses to determine crankshaft position, engine RPM, and relative engine speed. That information is critical for accurate spark timing and stable engine operation. This part number, S10568, is a direct-fit standard replacement for a range of GM applications, including Cadillac XT5, CT5, XT6, CT6, ATS, and CTS, plus Chevrolet Blazer, Camaro, Colorado, and GMC Acadia and Canyon. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC1112 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part May Address

• Hard starting caused by missing or inconsistent crankshaft position signal
• Intermittent stalling related to engine speed input loss
• Rough running from incorrect ignition timing data
• Check engine light triggered by crankshaft position sensor faults
• No-start conditions tied to crank signal failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting style before installation. The S10568 uses a female oval connector, 3 terminals, and a single mounting hole with a bracket included.
