Crankshaft Position Sensors: The Position Family by OE Number
The Position family: eight entries
The position sensor family of this catalogue holds 8 entries. Its deep-checked entries are crankshaft position sensors for European truck applications, and they are walked below. One entry in the family listing carries a throttle-position-sensor title in the source record; it is reported as titled, and it is not counted among the crankshaft references walked here. Every entry in the family is confirmed by its OE number against its own record — title, article number, application and whatever specification fields the entry prints.
The DAF entry
The DAF entry is referenced 0281002511 and carried under article number OE210305. Its replaces list names the DAF reference 1398467. Its application line, as printed, covers the 75/85 CF, CF 75/IV, CF 85/IV and XF 95 series. Those are the fields this entry records: a reference, an article number, a replaces line and an application line. A buyer holding this number sends it with the truck model, and the reply confirms the entry before quoting.
Two entries, one field block
Two further entries print the same field block. The entry referenced 281002315 (article OE211240) and the entry referenced 21426987 (article OE211396) each record a length of 34.5 mm, a number of poles of 2, and a resistance of 920 ohms, alongside long replaces lists as printed on the entries. The first is catalogued for Volvo and Renault applications, the second for Volvo. Shared fields do not merge the entries: each number is its own entry, confirmed separately, and where a field matters to your order the reply quotes it from the entry your number lands on.
What the entries do not record
The deep-checked entries print length, pole count and resistance where they print specification fields at all; they do not name an element type for the sensor, and this article does not assign one. Any field an entry does not print is confirmed at inquiry against the old part. The same discipline runs through the family: the entry's own data is the authority, a title is not a specification, and a number is checked against its entry rather than against its neighbours.
Resistance, as printed
One field on the shared block deserves a plain reading: the resistance figure of 920 ohms is printed on both Volvo/Renault entries as part of their record, alongside the 34.5 mm length and the 2-pole count. It is quoted here as the entries print it, as a catalogue field of those two entries — not as a figure transferable to any other entry in the family. A buyer who has measured their old unit can send the measurement with the inquiry; the reply compares it against the entry for their number.
The remaining entries of the family
Five further entries complete the family's eight. They are listed by number in the family listing, with their titles and applications as the source records them; the listing also carries the throttle-position-titled entry noted at the start of this article, filed among the position entries in the source data and reported here as titled. A number from the listing is confirmed exactly as a deep-checked number is: the entry is named in the reply, its recorded fields are quoted back, and anything the order turns on beyond those fields is confirmed at inquiry against the old part. Depth of record varies across the eight; the route to confirmation does not.
A worked inquiry
A complete inquiry for this family names the truck model, gives the OE number from the old unit — and its article number where the label shows both — and attaches the fault text as recorded. If live-data RPM while cranking was recorded, it is included as recorded, without interpretation added on the buyer's side: what the record shows is what the confirmation works from, and how a given vehicle responds to a lost signal is confirmed against the maker's service information for that vehicle, as the crankshaft page of this site states. The reply names the entry, quotes its fields, and prices that entry.
Applications, as listed
The application lines of the three deep-checked entries are printed on the family's pages as the records give them: DAF series lines for 0281002511, Volvo and Renault for 281002315, and Volvo for 21426987. An application line is part of the entry it sits on and travels with its number: the reply to an inquiry quotes the application of the entry the number lands on, and where a buyer's vehicle is not in that line, the reply says so plainly rather than stretching the listing to cover it.
Article numbers in the listing
In the family listing the deep-checked entries are the ones carrying both a reference and an article number of the OE21xxxx form. The remaining entries are carried by reference and title. A buyer searching the listing by an OE21xxxx number is searching the article-number series, and a reply reached that way names the reference the article number belongs to, so the order itself is always placed and confirmed on the reference the old unit carries.
What to send with an inquiry
Send the OE number and the truck model. If you recorded the fault text, or live-data RPM while cranking, include it with the inquiry. Numbers outside the three deep-checked references are checked against the position family in full. The four packaging options — OEMEMBER branded, UAP branded, blue neutral and white neutral boxes — are offered across the family. The company states that more than 100 catalogued items can be dispatched within 3 days and more than 2,700 within 15 days, and warranty terms for an order are confirmed in the quotation before payment. Product certificates are available upon request.
The article number and the OE number
Each deep-checked entry in this family carries two numbers: the reference a buyer quotes — 0281002511, 281002315 or 21426987 — and the catalogue's own article number — OE210305, OE211240 or OE211396. Quote either and the entry can be found; quote both and both numbers go into the inquiry the confirmation is made from. The article number is printed on the family's pages alongside the reference for exactly that reason, and an inquiry carrying both numbers is confirmed against the one entry they share.
Key takeaways
The position family holds 8 entries. Its deep-checked crankshaft references are 0281002511 (Art. OE210305, DAF), 281002315 (Art. OE211240) and 21426987 (Art. OE211396); the two Volvo/Renault entries share a printed field block of 34.5 mm length, 2 poles and 920 ohms resistance. The entries do not name an element type. Send the OE number and the truck model; if you recorded the fault text, or live-data RPM while cranking, include it with the inquiry.
