Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) > CHEVROLET CRUZE & ORLANDO 1.6L / 1.8L Ecotec GASOLINE ENGINE > 55567243 | GENUINE PART (GM Original Equipment)

This is a Genuine OEM Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor), identified by the GM part number 55567243. This sensor is a factory-original component for the popular 1.6L and 1.8L Ecotec Gasoline engines used in the Chevrolet Cruze and Orlando models, among others.

The CKP sensor is vital for the electronic management of the engine:

Timing Foundation: The sensor reads the rotation of the crankshaft's reluctor wheel, providing the ECM with the fundamental data for engine timing, including engine speed (RPM) and precise piston position.
Ignition and Fuel Control: The ECM uses this data to accurately time the spark plug firing and the fuel injector activation, which is necessary for the engine to run smoothly and efficiently.
Genuine Quality: Given the criticality of timing sensors, using the Genuine GM Part ensures high-quality signal integrity and reliability, crucial for preventing common fault codes like P0335 (CKP Sensor Circuit Malfunction).
Fitment Assurance: The part number 55567243 is consistently verified as the correct genuine CKP sensor for the 1.6L / 1.8L Ecotec engine in the Chevrolet Cruze and Orlando models.
