Extended Product Information

FAQs

What sensor technology does this use?

This unit uses Hall Sensor technology for precise, non-contact measurement.

Does it include the mounting bolt?

No, it is recommended to reuse your existing high-strength mounting bolt unless it shows signs of thread damage.

Will this fit my vehicle?

Please verify compatibility by matching the MPN 6PU 009 168-841 or the referenced OE part numbers (Chrysler 12638559, 12662533) against your owner's manual or current sensor markings.

Do I need to program the car after installation?

While the sensor is a plug-and-play hardware component, you may need to clear historical error codes from your vehicle's computer to ensure optimal performance.

Can I test this sensor with a multimeter?

Because this is a Hall effect sensor, testing with a standard multimeter can be complex. It is generally recommended to use an oscilloscope to check for the expected square wave signal.

Troubleshooting

Engine continues to stall after replacement

Clear the fault codes from the ECU using an OBD-II scanner and check if the wiring harness is fully seated.

No start condition persists

Verify that the sensor mounting distance (air gap) is correct and ensure the crankshaft trigger wheel is not damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting the installation, ensure the vehicle engine is cool to prevent injury. Locate the crankshaft sensor—typically found near the bottom of the engine block or near the transmission bell housing.

  1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety.
  2. Locate and unplug the 3-pin connector.
  3. Unscrew the mounting bolt and gently pull the old sensor outward.
  4. Clean the mounting surface of any dirt, oil, or metal shavings.
  5. Insert the new Hella sensor and tighten the mounting bolt to manufacturer-specified torque.
  6. Reconnect the wiring harness and the battery terminal.

*Care Tip:* Avoid touching the magnetic tip of the sensor with tools or metal surfaces during installation to prevent potential signal interference.
