I guess that depends on if GM wants to cover it in there warranty. I assume that is why you ask. It is not hard to replace and should cost just under a hundred dollars (give or take). It is and electronic sensor. It just takes a reading back to the cars computer to tell it where the crank is. Now that being said it is part of the entire electronic set up that would replace the distributor. Now the distributor would definitely be part of the power train. No one would argue that. It attaches to the motor to make it work. The motor will not work with out it. An oil pressure, or water temperature sensor would also in my book be part of the power train. So in my opinion it would be part of the power train.

How does the canmshaft positioning sensor works?

The Camshaft Position ( CMP ) sensor Provides information on camshaft position. The PCM-- Power train control module uses this information, along with the crank- shaft position sensor information, to controll fuel injection synchronization.

Yes, the power train management computer needs input from this sensor to time the spark to each cylinder. With a bad sensor there will be no ignition and the engine won't start.

How do you train a new tpms sensor on a 2009 dodge caliber?

To train a new TPMS sensor on a 2009 Dodge Caliber, start by ensuring the vehicle is in the "Run" position without starting the engine. Then, use a TPMS scan tool to initiate the sensor training process. Follow the tool's prompts to activate each wheel sensor, usually by scanning or inflating the tire to the specified pressure. Once all sensors are detected and registered, the TPMS light should turn off, indicating successful training.


What is the purpose of 02 sensor?

The oxygen sensor reports live information about the engine's air/fuel mixture to the power train control module. This information is used primarily to help calculate fuel delivery to the engine, which changes continuously while it is running. If the engine is running lean, the power train control module will sense this from the oxygen sensor's signal and increase the air/fuel mixture to the engine. Conversely, just the opposite occurs when the engine begins to run rich. On OBDII-equipped vehicles, the sensors are also used to help determine the efficiency of the catalytic converter. The power train control module does this by comparing the signal of the sensor located at the inlet of the catalytic converter with the signal of the sensor located at the outlet of the converter.


What is a transsmision range sensor?

The transmission range sensor or(manual lever positioning sensor)is on your transmission where the shift cable or linkage goes into your transmission.It functions as a park and neutral safety switch (start circuit),reverse light switch,and provides information to the power train control module (what gear is selected).

Where is the governor located on a 2001 Pontiac Grand AM SE and what steps do you take to bypass it?

Why would you want to by-pass a govenor? I don't recommend trying to increase how far you can extend the accelerator if that is what you mean. The amount of fuel is calculated by the power train control module (PCM) with inputs from the Manifold absolute pressure, Mass air flow sensor, Throttle position sensor and coolant temperature sensor. the PCM controls the Fuel injector pulse width, opening it wider as more air is brought in from the accelerator being depressed.
