Bit of Ju-Ju magic going on there.
The active pulse generated by the CPS only occurs at a time set by the gaps/magnets.
Once clean and hard contact, the connections will be fine.

Yes , items like the CPS , ABS and Hall Effect sensors generate tiny little pulses of electrical current . Dirty or loose connections are as bad as a broken wire.
A missing pulse can e enough to stop the whole system.
