Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) > KIA SPECTRA (FB) 1.6L ALPHA DOHC GASOLINE ENGINE > OK2N1-18-891-C | AFTERMARKET PART
-
Aftermarket Replacement Component (Manufactured in China, based on the '-C' suffix and common sourcing).
-
Original Equipment (OE) Part Number Replaced: OK2N1-18-891 (This is the OE number the part is designed to fit).
-
Alternative OE Formatting: Often listed as 0K2N1-18-891.
-
-
Component Name: Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor) (Note: External references suggest the OE part is often a 2-pin inductive sensor).
-
Primary Applications (Engine Specific): This sensor is designed for Kia models equipped with the 1.6L Alpha DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) Gasoline engine:
-
Kia Spectra (First Generation, FB Chassis): Fits 1.6L models (approx. 2000–2004). Confirms your Spectra 1.6cc.
-
Kia Rio (First Generation, DC Chassis): Also fits 1.6L Alpha engine variants (approx. 2003–2005).
-
-
Key Function: Supplies the Engine Control Module (ECM) with the primary timing reference for the engine, controlling ignition timing and sequential fuel injection.
This is an Aftermarket Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor), corresponding to the original Kia OE part number OK2N1-18-891. The designation '-C' and "CHINA PART" confirm that this is a non-original, replacement component, intended to be a more cost-effective choice than the Genuine Hyundai/Kia MOBIS part.
This sensor is specifically intended for the Kia Spectra 1.6L models, which utilize the durable Alpha DOHC Gasoline engine.
The CKP sensor is vital for engine operation:
Timing Signal: The sensor reads the rotation of the crankshaft, providing the ECM with the fundamental data for engine speed (RPM) and precise piston position.
Part Functionality: For the 1.6L Alpha engine, the OE sensor is typically a 2-pin inductive sensor that generates an analog AC voltage signal. This aftermarket part must accurately mimic this signal for the engine management system to function correctly.
Aftermarket Consideration: Given the importance of the signal for starting and running, while cost-effective, aftermarket CKP sensors may sometimes lead to inconsistent readings or a shorter service life compared to the Genuine OE part.
Fitment Assurance: The OE number OK2N1-18-891 is correctly identified for the 1.6L Alpha DOHC Gasoline engine in the Kia Spectra models listed.
Compatible Vehicle (Primary Applications - Check VIN for confirmation of 1.6L Alpha DOHC Engine):
Kia Spectra (FB) 1.6L (2000–2004)
Kia Rio (DC) 1.6L (2003–2005)
