Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PC1020 is an OE-style crankshaft position sensor for Kia Rio and Kia Soul models listed in the fitment data. The sensor uses a plug-in connector with three male blade terminals, making it a direct electrical match for the specified applications. For drivers searching for a 2012-2017 Kia Rio crankshaft position sensor, a 2018 Kia Rio crankshaft position sensor, or a 2013-2015 Kia Soul crankshaft position sensor, PC1020 provides the correct fitment reference for those vehicles.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 180-0788 and Delphi SS11331 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft signal loss that can affect engine timing
• Hard starting caused by an inaccurate crankshaft position signal
• Stalling or intermittent shutdown related to sensor signal interruption
• Check engine light conditions tied to crankshaft position sensor faults
• Rough running from inconsistent engine speed input

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, terminal count, and vehicle fitment before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle is equipped with the start/stop feature where listed, and inspect the harness connector for corrosion, bent terminals, or damaged locking tabs before connecting the new sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm proper engine operation.

Quality Assurance
