Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement Cost in UAE (2025 Guide)
The crankshaft position sensor is one of the most critical sensors in a modern engine. Without it, the ECU cannot time fuel injection or ignition accurately, and in most cases the engine will not start. Intermittent failure causes stalling and misfires that often worsen at operating temperature. This guide covers crankshaft position sensor replacement costs in the UAE.
Crankshaft Position Sensor Replacement Cost in UAE
Crankshaft position sensor replacement costs AED 150 to AED 450 in the UAE for most passenger vehicles. The sensor part costs AED 60 to AED 200. Labour is typically 30 to 90 minutes for sensors in accessible positions. Engines where the sensor is mounted behind the gearbox bellhousing require partial drivetrain removal, and labour time can reach 3 to 4 hours on these designs, significantly increasing total cost.
Vehicle-Specific Costs
Toyota Camry 2.5 CKP sensor: AED 170 to AED 320. Nissan Altima: AED 150 to AED 300. Honda Accord: AED 160 to AED 300. BMW 5 Series CKP sensor: AED 220 to AED 400. Mercedes C-Class: AED 230 to AED 420. Hyundai Tucson: AED 150 to AED 280. Mitsubishi Pajero: AED 180 to AED 350. Kia Sportage: AED 150 to AED 270.
Diagnosing CKP Sensor Failure
A diagnostic scan showing P0335 to P0337 codes is the starting point. The workshop should verify the fault using a scan tool with live data to confirm the CKP sensor signal is absent or intermittent during cranking. The wiring harness and connector should also be inspected before the sensor itself is condemned, as connector corrosion and wiring breaks cause similar symptoms and cost less to repair than sensor replacement.
After Replacement
Most CKP sensors require no programming after installation. The ECU immediately recognises the new sensor signal on startup. Any stored fault codes are cleared after replacement, and the vehicle is test-driven to confirm normal operation and no return of the fault codes.
