A Hall Effect sensor is a transducer that varies its output voltage in response to a magnetic field.In its simplest form, the sensor operates as an analog transducer, directly returning a voltage. Hall Effect Sensors consist basically of a thin piece of rectangular p-type semiconductor material such as gallium arsenide (GaAs). When the device is placed within a magnetic field, the magnetic flux lines exert a force on the semiconductor material which deflects the charge carriers, electrons and holes, to either side of the semiconductor slab. This movement of charge carriers is a result of the magnetic force they experience passing through the semiconductor material. As these electrons and holes move side wards a potential difference is produced between the two sides of the semiconductor material by the build-up of these charge carriers. The effect of generating a measurable voltage by using a magnetic field is called the Hall Effect. Hall Effect sensors and switches are designed to be in the "OFF" when there is no magnetic field present. They only turn "ON", when subjected to a magnetic field of sufficient strength and polarity.There are two basic types of digital Hall Effect sensor, Bipolar and Unipolar. Bipolar sensors require a positive magnetic field (South Pole) to operate them and a negative field (North Pole) to release them while unipolar sensors require only a single magnetic south pole to both operate and release them as they move in and out of the magnetic field. Here we are using a unipolar sensor

Is hall effect sensor same as ignition module?
No.
Does hall-effect sensor take place of camshaft sensor?
yes, located in the distributer.
What does a hall effect sersor do?
As magnets pass a filed they cause a deflection a hall sensor will detect that
What is Hall Current Sensor?
A hall current sensor produces voltage by means of the "hall effect". It is used in automobile applications such as wheel speed sensors, tachometers, speedometers and ignition.
Where is the Hall effect sensor in a 1996 ford f150 4.9 l engine?
this sensor is inside the distrib.
Where is the hall effect sensor located in a vw golf mk4?
Located on the distributor.
Where is the hall sensor on megane scenic 1.6v rt 1998 p reg situated and how would you go about cleaning it Have problem starting my car and have heard that cleaning or replacing hall sensor may help?
It doesn't have a hall chip or a hall effect sensor, it has an inductive pulse cam/crank sensor. You can clean those.
Why doesn't ford know what a hall sensor is you need to buy one?
If you mean a "hall effect" sensor, there could be a couple different types on your vehicle. Camshaft sensors and crankshaft sensors along with abs wheel speed and transmission speed sensors could be hall effect type sensors. You need to ask for the sensor by application.
How does a camshaft position sensor work on a 1998 Ford F150?
camshaft position sensor is used to help the PCM (powertrain control module) determine the correct firing order. The engine will not run without this sensor's input. The camshaft position sensor is a Hall effect sensor. The Hall effect type of cam sensor uses notches or shutter blades on the cam gear or balancer to disrupt a magnetic field in the Hall effect sensor window. This causes the sensor to switch on and off, producing a digital signal or Hall-effect signal to the PCM that it uses to determine when #1 cylinder comes up on top-dead center (TDC). This sensor information is used to phase the sequential firing of the fuel injectors during normal SFI operation.
What causes a hall effect crankshaft sensor to fail?
heat, primarily. either causing degausing of the permanant magnet behind the sensor, or other thermal damage to the hall ic itself.
A CMP Sensor is equipped with a 3-wire connector. What type is it?
generally a cmp or a ckp sensor with three wires is a hall effect sensor, voltage, signal, ground.
Where is the crank sensor on a 1976 Chevy Impala?
It is inside the distributor and is more commonly known as a distributor pickup, HEI pickup, pickup coil, hall switch, or hall effect sensor. I hope that helps.
