Can any of the experts here confirm if Ford changed the Gen 3 crank position sensor to a 3 wire hall effect from the 2 wire reluctor used on the Gen 1 and Gen 2 engines?

It appears that ‘11-‘24 all use the same updated sensor, based on this info. from MMR’s website. I have a 2019 and replaced mine with one from MMR. It‘s actually an OEM Ford sensor.

Thank you. The fact that you have a 2019 and the OEM 2 wire sensor worked with your harness is very helpful to know. The Ford connector catalog shows the 2019 Mustang using a 3 wire connector for the crank position sensor which threw me for a loop.
The Ford connector catalog is supported by Tasca's website as it shows part number JR3Z-6C315-A as the correct part number for 2018-2023 and BR3Z-6C315-B as the correct part number for 2011-2017. The 11-17 part on Tasca's site, and the 11-24 part on MMR's site, both look like a 2 wire reluctor sensor while the 18-23 part on Tasca's site looks like a 3 wire hall effect sensor.
2018-2023 (JR3Z-6C315-A) sensor with 3 pins:
2011-2017 (BR3Z-6C315-B) sensor with 2 pins
There's no way the 18-23 sensor on Tasca's site would have plugged into your harness based on the pictures. Based on your experience I'm more confident that Ford made an error in the parts catalog.

18+ is 3 wire
15-17 is 2 wire
I know because I purchased a gen3 crank position sensor because I had a gen3 shortblock and the rear cover is changed. Would not plug in with my gen 2 harness so I had to buy the gen2 crank position sensor.

Here’s the part number on the crank sensor that I purchased from MMR with my rear seal plate kit. Hopefully you’ll be able to make it out well enough to compare.

@NGOT8R - The picture you posted really helps...thanks. In looking at the picture the crank sensor
is the 2018+ part based on where the gasket is placed on the sensor and where the tab is located on the electrical side.
@tdstuart - Thanks for confirming that the plug on the Gen 2 harness doesn't work with the Gen 3 sensor.
Appreciate the help gents!
