You can find it near the starter motor, which is installed in the engine block. The sensor reads the tooth shape brake wheel mounted at the end of the crankshaft.

Of course not. Driving without functional crankshaft sensors is dangerous and can cause serious engine damage. If your car's crankshaft sensor fails, you should repair or replace it as soon as possible.

There are several factors that can lead to the failure of the crankshaft position sensor: Wear and tear, electrical connection problems, dirt and debris, corrosion of sensor metal contacts, leakage of liquids such as oil or coolant, impact damage.

Replacing crankshaft position sensors is not particularly difficult, at least in most automakers and models. However, in order to avoid improper installation, it is recommended that you go to a professional car repair shop for repair.
