Crankshaft Position Sensors for Trucks
The crankshaft position sensor (CKP sensor) family is drawn from the 8-entry position sensor family. The deep-checked entries are all European truck applications: reference OE210305 (OE 0281002511) for DAF, OE211240 (OE 281002315) for Volvo and Renault, and OE211396 (OE 21426987) for Volvo.
The two Volvo/Renault entries print the same field block — length 34.5 mm, 2 poles and a resistance of 920 ohms — alongside long replaces lists. When ordering, the OE number decides the match. The blog article walks the family entry by entry. If you recorded the fault text, or live-data RPM while cranking, include it with the inquiry.
Order by OE number, not by guesswork
A crankshaft sensor order is kept short: send the OE number — 0281002511 (DAF), 281002315 (Volvo/Renault) or 21426987 (Volvo) are the deep-checked entries — and the truck model, and the match is confirmed against the catalogue entry before quoting. Record the fault text and include it with the inquiry. What is not accepted as a basis for quoting is the engine name alone — 'a DAF crank sensor' describes a shelf, while the number specifies the part. Unlisted numbers are checked against the position family in full.
Fitment confirmation checklist
Fitment is confirmed from the inquiry, so the inquiry has to carry the evidence: vehicle make and model, engine type, the OE number off the old part, and a note of any connector or mounting oddity. Engine detail carries particular weight for crankshaft position sensor orders, since a single truck model can ship with different engines and different sensor specifications. The confirmation follows the applications listed on the catalogue entry itself, and where your model is not listed, that is stated plainly rather than glossed over. For a stock list, send the OE numbers in a spreadsheet for a line-by-line matched or not-matched reply.
Packaging, stock and dispatch
A crankshaft sensor order can be placed as a single unit against a non-starting truck, and any of the four boxes serves: OEMEMBER branded, UAP branded, blue neutral or white neutral. What matters more than the carton is the confirmed OE list behind it — keep the list from your first order with your records and quote it back on any repeat order. Dispatch availability is as catalogued: more than 100 items within 3 days, more than 2,700 within 15 days. Warranty terms are confirmed in the quotation before payment. Certificates are available upon request.
Frequently asked questions
What should I send for a crankshaft position sensor inquiry?
Send the OE number and the truck model, and say if the truck is stranded. If you recorded the fault text, or live-data RPM while cranking, include it with the inquiry — the confirmation is made against the catalogue entry for your number. How a given vehicle responds to a lost signal is confirmed against the maker's service information for that vehicle.
Does the entry name the sensor's element type?
The deep-checked entries print their field block — length, number of poles and resistance — and do not name an element type. Send the OE number: the match is confirmed against the entry for that number, and any field the entry does not print is confirmed at inquiry against the old part.
What else should I record before ordering?
Note the fault text and any readings you recorded — those details are filed with the inquiry. The OE number and the truck model are what the confirmation itself is made from.
Send the OE number and the truck model for a catalogue match.
Send the OE number, vehicle model and engine — fitment is confirmed against the catalogue entry before any quotation. Samples and mixed-OE orders are welcome.
