Crankshaft Position Sensor for Hyundai Elantra i30 Tucson Kia Cerato Sportage G4GC 39180-23910

BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* crankshaft position sensor to suit a wide range of Hyundai and Kia models fitted with the G4GC 2.0L engine.

A failing crank sensor is one of the most common causes of stalling, rough idle and no-start faults on these engines - especially once the engine reaches operating temperature. This sensor is dispatched same-day from our Cranbourne VIC warehouse.

TO SUIT

Fits the Hyundai Elantra XD/HD, i30 FD, Tucson JM, Tiburon GK, Elantra Lavita FC and Kia Cerato LD, Kia Sportage KM/JE built with the G4GC 2.0L engine. See the full model and year listing below.

FITMENT CHECK

This is the black housing, "new style" Hall-effect sensor with gaskets/seals included - OEM 39180-23910. It is not the white "old style" sensor (OEM 39180-23500), which is a different physical part and listed separately.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

1 x Crankshaft Position Sensor (3-pin, black housing, new style, with gaskets/seals).

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The crankshaft position sensor monitors crankshaft position and rotational speed and reports it to the ECU, which uses that signal for ignition timing and fuel injection.

A worn or failing sensor causes an inaccurate signal that the ECU cannot compensate for, leading to stalling, misfires or a no-start condition.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Engine stalls after reaching normal operating temperature
Intermittent or hard starting
Rough idle or hesitation under load
Check engine light with a crank position fault code (P0335 / P0336)
Uneven acceleration or engine misfires

How do I test a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor?

Use an OBD2 scanner to check for fault codes P0335 to P0338 (crankshaft) or P0340 to P0349 (camshaft). You can also test the sensor with a multimeter - inductive sensors should show resistance between 200 and 1,000 ohms, while Hall effect sensors require a live voltage test with the engine cranking. Erratic or absent RPM signal on a live data scanner is a strong indicator of sensor failure.

Can a cam or crank sensor fault cause my vehicle to go into limp mode?

Yes. A faulty crankshaft position sensor in particular can cause the ECU to lose engine speed and position data entirely, which may trigger limp mode or prevent the engine from starting. A faulty camshaft sensor on variable valve timing engines can cause the VVT system to default to a fixed position, significantly reducing power and fuel economy.

Do cam and crank sensors need to be programmed after replacement?

In most cases no - aftermarket OEM replacement sensors are direct plug-in replacements that require no programming. However some vehicles, particularly late model European makes including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, may require a crankshaft adaptation reset using a dealer-level scan tool after replacement. Check your vehicle service information before replacing the sensor.

What are the symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include intermittent stalling, engine not starting, rough idle, misfires, and a Check Engine light with codes P0335-P0338. In severe cases the engine will crank but not start as the ECU cannot determine crank position for ignition timing.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include poor performance, misfires, difficulty starting, rough idle, and fault codes P0340-P0343. Variable valve timing systems (VVT) will also be affected, causing sluggish response and increased fuel consumption.

Can I drive with a bad crankshaft position sensor?

If the sensor has failed completely the engine will not start or will stall and not restart. If it is intermittently failing, driving is dangerous - the engine can cut out without warning. Replace it immediately.

Do I need to replace both the cam and crank sensor at the same time?

Not necessarily - replace whichever has failed based on fault codes and diagnosis. However, if your vehicle has high kilometres and one has failed, it is worth considering replacing both as they are similar in age and condition.
