BMW 12141709616 – Crankshaft Position Sensor is a critical engine management component that detects the crankshaft’s rotational position and speed. This sensor sends vital signals to the engine control unit, enabling precise fuel injection timing and ignition spark, which are essential for smooth engine operation and optimal performance. The unit is designed specifically for BMW applications as indicated by its product identity and part type classification.

The crankshaft position sensor fits into the crankshaft assembly area and must be matched carefully with the existing sensor for compatibility.
