Crankshaft Position Sensor for engine management, mounted in the lower cylinder block and oil pan area facing the crankshaft reluctor ring.

As the reluctor teeth pass the sensor tip it generates the signal the engine control module uses to establish crankshaft speed and angular position. That reference governs ignition and injection timing and overall engine synchronisation; without a valid signal the engine will not run.

Frequently asked questions

What is the crankshaft position sensor (NSC500160A) and what does it do?
Mounted at the lower cylinder block facing the crankshaft reluctor ring, this sensor generates a signal as reluctor teeth pass its tip. The ECM uses that signal to establish crankshaft speed and position, governing ignition and injection timing. Without a valid signal, the engine won't run.
What symptoms does a failed crankshaft position sensor cause?
A failed sensor typically causes a no-start condition or sudden cut-out while driving. The ECM requires a continuous crank signal for synchronisation. Loss of that signal puts the engine management system out of sync with the engine.
Which Land Rover models use part NSC500160A?
It fits the Discovery 3 (4.4 AJ V8 petrol; 4.0 V6 petrol to VIN 9A999999), Discovery 4 from VIN AA000001 (2.7 V6 diesel, 3.6 V8 diesel, 4.0 V6 petrol), Range Rover L322 (4.4 AJ V8 and 4.2 V8 supercharged, to VIN 6A000001), and Range Rover Sport L320 2005-2009 (4.4 AJ V8 and 4.2 V8 supercharged).
