The 2013 Chevy Impala's crankshaft position sensor is located at the rear of the engine beneath the camshaft sensor. To reach it, you can take off the front passenger tire and loosen it with a 10mm socket. If the CKS malfunctions, it may cause the car to stall intermittently, have trouble starting, accelerate unevenly, misfire, and vibrate. A properly functioning CKS contributes to the smooth operation of the vehicle as it tracks the crank's speed and relays that information to the ECU for optimal ignition and fuel injection timing. The cost of having a professional mechanic replace the CKS typically ranges from $120 to $160 for parts and labor.
You can locate the crankshaft position sensor for a 2013 Chevy Impala under the hood, close to the timing cover.
