Name: Crankshaft Position Sensor Holden Commodore VE MY09.5+ VF 3.0L 3.6L HFV6 V6
Brand: Aftermarket OEM Replacement
SKU: CSCA458-1
Price: 69.45 AUD
Availability: InStock

BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* crankshaft position sensor to suit Holden Commodore VE MY09.5 onwards and all VF series with the 3.0L and 3.6L HFV6 V6 engine across LF1 / LFW / LFX / LLT / LWR variants.

If your Commodore is stalling without warning, failing to start, or logging a P0335 / P0336 code - the crankshaft position sensor is a common failure on the HFV6 SIDI platform. Direct plug-in replacement. Dispatched same-day from Cranbourne VIC.

TO SUIT

This sensor suits the Holden Commodore VE from MY09.5 (all LF1 / LFW / LLT / LFX / LWR LPG engine variants) and all VF Series 1 and 2 with the 3.0L LFW and 3.6L LFX SIDI engines from 2013 to 2017 - refer to the full compatibility list below.

FITMENT CHECK

LY7 and LLT engine variants: this sensor suits vehicles manufactured from 09/2009 only. Pre-MY09.5 LY7 vehicles use a different sensor. Verify your build date before ordering.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The crankshaft position sensor monitors crankshaft rotational speed and position and sends a continuous signal to the ECU. The ECU uses this data to calculate injection timing, ignition timing, and cylinder identification on every engine cycle - it is one of the most critical inputs in the engine management system.

On the Holden HFV6 SIDI engine a failing crankshaft sensor typically causes intermittent stalling or a no-start condition. Unlike many faults the car often restarts after cooling, which is a hallmark of a failing Hall-effect crankshaft sensor.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Check engine light with fault code P0335 / P0336 / P0337 / P0338
Engine stalls without warning at idle or under load
Intermittent no-start - often restarts after cooling
Engine misfires or vibrates under acceleration
Rough or hunting idle
Poor fuel consumption

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.
