Why does the Smart Fortwo not start?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

If the Smart Fortwo does not start, the most common problem is related to the crankshaft rpm sensor. This is because the sensor mounted on the crankshaft of this car model is a type of sensor that has now been supplanted by a more recent one. This in fact is equipped with an electronic card that allows a more precise detection than the previous one. Consequently, if you replace the original Smart Fortwo sensor with this newer sensor, you should be able to start the car. The video also illustrates the different functioning of the sensors.
