Best Answer

The crank sensor is used by the ECM to determine timing. However, if the sensor is not working, the ECM determines the same things from the inputs of other sensors for timing. The net is that the sensor amounts to a redundancy, allowing the ECM to determine appropriate timing more quickly than without it.
