An issue with the crankshaft position sensor may be indicated by the common fault code P1727 in BMW models. This code typically points to a communication problem between the engine control module (DME) and the transmission control module (TCM), potentially involving a faulty signal transmission from the DME to the crankshaft sensor. If you have already replaced the CKP sensor but the error persists on the dashboard, it's possible that the sensor was not installed correctly and will need to be reinstalled properly. A diagnostic test will likely be necessary to pinpoint the exact issue. The cost of a replacement sensor typically ranges from $70 to $100.

    The common trouble code P1727 might stem from a faulty signal sent by the Crankshaft Sensor. However, it reveals a breakdown in communication between the Engine Control Module (DME) and the Transmission Control Module (TCM), which could be connected to a signal issue from the Crankshaft Position Sensor to the DME.
