Detailed Description

Standard PC285T is an engine crankshaft position sensor made for accurate crankshaft signal input on select 1995-2001 Ford Ranger, 1996-2000 Ford F-100 Ranger, 1995-1997 Mazda B2300, and 1998-2001 Mazda B2500 models.

What It Helps Address

• Crankshaft position sensor fault codes
• Hard starting or no-start conditions related to crank signal loss
• Intermittent stalling tied to sensor signal interruption
• Rough running caused by inaccurate crankshaft position input
• Engine speed signal problems affecting ignition and fuel control

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style and terminal layout before installation. The PC285T uses a female connector, one plug-in connector, and two male blade terminals, so matching the harness connection is important. Confirm vehicle application by year and model before ordering, especially on Ford Ranger and Mazda B2300/B2500 trucks. Inspect the mounting area and wiring for damage before installing the new sensor.
