Genuine OEM Engine Component (Hyundai-Kia MOBIS Original Equipment).
Part Number: OK2A6-18-891 (Official Hyundai/Kia OE Number).
Alternative Formatting: Often listed as 0K2A6-18-891 or 0K2A618891.
Component Name: Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor) (Typically a 3-Pin connector).
Primary Applications (Engine Specific): This sensor is crucial for Kia models equipped with the 1.8L T8D Gasoline engine (related to the earlier FB engine code):
Kia Carens I (FC Chassis): Fits 1.8L i models (approx. 1999–2002).
Kia Carens II (FJ Chassis): Fits 1.8L models (approx. 2002–2006). This confirms your Carens 1 & Carens 2 models.
Kia Sephia / Spectra: Also fits certain 1.8L models from the 1998–2002 period.
Key Function: Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with the primary timing reference for the engine, controlling ignition timing and sequential fuel injection.
This is a Genuine OEM Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor), identified by the Kia part number OK2A6-18-891. This sensor is a factory-original component designed for the 1.8L T8D Gasoline engine used in the first and second generations of the Kia Carens (Carens I and Carens II).
The CKP sensor is vital for reliable engine operation:
Timing Signal: The sensor reads the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft, supplying the ECM with the fundamental data required for calculating engine speed (RPM) and determining the precise moment for spark plug firing and fuel injector activation.
Engine Start: Failure of this sensor is a common cause of engine problems, frequently resulting in a crank-no-start condition or unexpected stalling.
Genuine Quality: Using the Genuine Part is highly recommended for critical timing sensors to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the signal required by the engine management system.
Fitment Assurance: The part number OK2A6-18-891 is consistently verified as the correct genuine CKP sensor for the Kia Carens I and Carens II 1.8L Gasoline engine models.
Compatible Vehicle (Primary Applications - Check VIN for confirmation of 1.8L T8D Gasoline Engine):
