FUNCTION AND OPERATION PRICIPLE
Knocking is a phenomenon characterized by undesirable vibration and noise and can cause engine damage. Knock
Sensor (KS) senses engine knocking and the two sensors are installed inside the V- valley of the cylinder block. When
knocking occurs, the vibration from the cylinder block is applied as pressure to the piezoelectric element. At this time,
this sensor transfers the voltage signal higher than the specified value to the PCM and the PCM retards the ignition
timing. If the knocking disappears after retarding the ignition timing, the PCM will advance the ignition timing. This
sequential control can improve engine power, torque and fuel economy.

Crankshaft Position Sensor
(CKPS)

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
INSPECTION
FUNCTION AND OPERATION PRICIPLE
Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) detects the crankshaft position and is one of the most important sensors of the
engine control system. If there is no CKPS signal input, fuel is not supplied and the main relay does not operate. That
is, vehicle can't run without CKPS signal. This sensor is installed on transaxle housing and generates alternating
current by magnetic flux field which is made by the sensor and the target wheel when engine runs. The target wheel
consists of 58 slots and 2 missing slots on 360 CA (Crank Angle).

Camshaft Position Sensor
(CMPS)

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
INSPECTION
FUNCTION AND OPERATION PRICIPLE
Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) is a hall sensor and detects the camshaft position by using a hall element. It is
related with Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) and detects the piston position of each cylinder which the CKPS can't
detect. The two CMPS are installed on engine head cover of bank 1 and 2 and uses a target wheel installed on the
camshaft. This sensor has a hall - effect IC which output voltage changes when magnetic field is made on the IC with
current flow.
