The engine speed sensor consists of a magnetic core and a winding. It is positioned opposite a ring on the flywheel with 60 teeth, 2 of which have been removed in order to determine the TDC (top dead centre) position. When the teeth of the flywheel pass in front of the sensor, a variation in magnetic field is created. This variation...
