The only diagram I’ve been able to find online that mentions the crank sensor at all is this one:

Does anyone know where to find this sensor on the 2.0 L 2011 Kia Soul?

Thank you!!

From the service data I’m looking at , for '11 Soul 2L, it’s near the oil pressure switch, and above the two o2 sensors. that might be where the electrical connector is located though, and the sensor itself is at the end of that wire. Front of engine compartment, a little offset to the driver’s side of center.

It has to be somewhere near the crankshaft, or something the crankshaft turns, that’s something you can count on.
