What causes a crank sensor to not start?

Now, if the NO START is caused by the ignition module or the crank sensor, usually the ignition coils will not fire any spark at all. Therefore, the second symptom that leads you on the path of a BAD ICM or crank sensor is: No spark at any of the ignition coils.

How does the crank sensor work on the ignition module?

When the engine starts to crank, the crankshaft position sensor starts to produce and send its signal to the ignition control module (ICM). The ignition control module upon receiving this AC Volts crank signal, converts it into a DC digital signal and sends it to the ECM.
