The BMW error code p11c5 signals a problem with the crankshaft position actuator. The exact location of the car's crankshaft position sensor varies depending on the make and model, but it will typically be positioned close to the crankshaft itself. If you need to replace the sensor, the cost will range between $190 and $300, with an additional $200 for installation labor. The sensor's primary function is to ensure that the crankshaft is rotating at the correct speed. If the shaft malfunctions, you may experience issues such as stalling, shaking, rough acceleration, and the check engine light illuminating. These symptoms indicate that the engine timing is off, causing misfiring. In addition to these immediate concerns, a faulty crankshaft can strain the engine, potentially leading to further damage and higher repair expenses over time.
