Detailed Description

The Spectra S10573 crankshaft position sensor is built to monitor crankshaft position so the engine control system can determine ignition timing, engine RPM, and relative engine speed. By supplying this input directly to the engine management system, it eliminates the need for manual distributor timing on equipped vehicles. This part number, S10573, is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers servicing Hyundai and Kia engines that rely on accurate crankshaft signal input. It is listed for 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata, 2017-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, 2018-2021 Hyundai Tucson, 2019-2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2019-2022 Hyundai Veloster N, 2022-2024 Hyundai Elantra N, 2016-2020 Kia Sorento, 2017-2020 Kia Optima, and 2017-2022 Kia Sportage.

What It Helps Solve

• Hard starting caused by an inaccurate crankshaft signal
• Intermittent stalling related to engine speed input loss
• Rough running from incorrect ignition timing data
• Check engine light conditions tied to crankshaft position sensor faults
• RPM signal errors affecting drivability on Hyundai and Kia applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. This sensor uses a female rectangle connector with 3 terminals, a blade terminal type, and no wiring harness or mounting bracket included. Confirm the vehicle application against the listed fitment before replacing the original sensor. For Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Sportage service work, inspect the connector and wiring for corrosion or damage before installing the new sensor.

Quality Assurance

Spectra supplies this part as a standard replacement crankshaft position sensor for service applications where accurate engine timing input is required. The S10573 is engineered to match the electrical and connector requirements of the listed Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
