What does crankshaft sensor do?

It senses whether your crankshaft has packed up, and if so, warns you of such. Driving without a crankshaft is dangerous!

The Crankshaft Sensor communicates to the computer what position the motor is in so it can fire the appropriate spark plugs and fuel injectors in a continuous cycle, or firing order.

Show you where you can find the crankshaft position sensor on a 1996 subaru legacy?

Well, I'm not going to "show" you, but I'll tell you where it is. Standing at the front of the car looking at the engine you would locate your crankshaft pully (under your alternator). The sensor is located to the right of center of that crankshaft pully bolted to the engine block. Needless to say if you have to change the sensor you are going to have to remove a bunch of stuff, but before you do that you can access the wires coming out of that area and test their continunity before proceeding further.
