BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* crankshaft sensor for Kia Cerato BD, YD and Cerato Koup fitted with the 1.8L G4NB or 2.0L G4NA/G4NC engine.

On the Cerato, a tired crank sensor is a common cause of a rough cold start that clears up once the engine warms through. Dispatched from Cranbourne VIC.

TO SUIT

Fits the Kia Cerato BD sedan (2018-on, 2.0L G4NA), Cerato YD sedan/hatch (2013-2018, 1.8L G4NB / 2.0L G4NA / 2.0L G4NC) and Cerato Koup YD coupe (2013-2016, 2.0L G4NC), all built without start-stop (ISG) technology.

FITMENT CHECK

This sensor is not suitable for vehicles fitted with Idle Stop and Go (ISG) - those use a different sensor. Cerato BD and later YD models increasingly came with ISG as an option, so confirm your OEM number before ordering.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

1 x Crankshaft Position Sensor (2-pin oval connector, black housing, 230mm cable).

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

Across the Cerato's three engine options (G4NB, G4NA, G4NC) the crank sensor shares the same mounting and connector, reading crankshaft position to time ignition and injection.

A degraded signal on the Cerato often surfaces first as a cold-start stumble rather than a hot no-start, which makes it easy to mistake for a battery or starter fault.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Rough or extended cranking on a cold start
Check engine light with fault code P0335 or P0336
Occasional stalling at idle
Uneven acceleration
Engine misfires under load

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.
