Claim 0:
1. A method for calibrating an old crankshaft sensor including a crankshaft wheel and a sensitive element facing the crankshaft wheel, during replacement of the crankshaft sensor, the method comprising:
saving an old angular position of a wheel of a camshaft sensor relative to the crankshaft wheel, which is achieved using the old crankshaft sensor;
replacing the old crankshaft sensor with a new crankshaft sensor;
determining a new angular position of the same camshaft sensor wheel relative to the crankshaft wheel, which is achieved using the new crankshaft sensor; and,
correcting a measurement of the new crankshaft sensor by applying an offset equal to the difference between the new angular position and the old angular position.
