Bosch Genuine Crankshaft Position Sensor for Ford Ranger Everest 2008-2012 MT 0281002729

Bosch Genuine Crankshaft Position Sensor for Ford Ranger Everest 2008–2012 MT, part number 0281002729 is an important component in the engine management system. It measures the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft, then sends signals to the ECU to calculate precise fuel injection and ignition timing.

During operation, the engine requires perfect synchronization between the crankshaft and the injection – ignition system. If the crankshaft position sensor is faulty, produces a weak signal, or fails, it can cause hard starting, sudden stalling, shaking or jerking, engine warning lights, or prevent the vehicle from starting.

Produced by Bosch to Ford standards, this product ensures high accuracy, stable signal reading, and good durability in the high-temperature, high-vibration environment of the engine. The sensor is suitable for Ford Ranger and Ford Everest 2.5 2008–2012 manual transmission (MT) models, ensuring direct-fit installation and full compatibility with the original ECU system.

In addition to determining crankshaft position, the sensor also helps the ECU optimize fuel injection and ignition timing, improving starting performance, operating efficiency, and fuel economy.

Using a genuine Bosch sensor helps ensure accurate signals, reduce engine faults, and maintain long-term stability during use.
