Crankshaft position (CKP) sensors are being discussed. Technician A says the sensor consists of a variable reluctance sensor. Technician B says the sensor produces a DC voltage signal. Who is correct?
A) Technician A
B) Technician B
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor can indeed consist of a variable reluctance sensor, which generates an AC (alternating current) signal as opposed to a DC (direct current) voltage signal. Technician B is incorrect because CKP sensors typically do not produce a DC voltage signal directly.
