Abstract
A method for determining the position of a motor-vehicle crankshaft with a rotating target wheel including markers distributed uniformly over its periphery and a signature, and a sensor sending an electrical signal with edges that appear during the passage of a marker or of the signature before the sensor, including: determining detection time of an edge; determining detection time and computing time difference between estimation and determination; determining angular error; determining presence of an abnormal edge when the angular error exceeds a threshold and storing the associated marker number in a first error list; when the signature passes, copying the first error list to the second if it does not exist; adjusting an occurrence counter depending on the error list; and if the errors are not transient, correcting edges with marker numbers in memory in the second error list, then sending a crankshaft position signal depending on the signal.
