Same as all other cars, it senses crankshaft angle so that the engine control module can apply spark to the fuel at a precise time to achieve full combustion with minimal emissions. there's usually also a camshaft sensor, and many vehicles will use the camshaft sensor if the crankshaft sensor fails to provide limited functionality (limp home mode). If its dead, you'll have to replace it for the engine to operate properly. I don't know if your vehicle has any mileage limits on limp-home mode.
