Camshaft Position Sensors



Camshaft Position Sensors

Description

Camshaft position sensors are fitted to both cylinder banks.

The camshaft sensors are checked for loss of signal during cranking and engine running conditions. When the appropriate entry conditions have been met a loss of camshaft sensor pulses for greater than the predefined time will register a fault. If the fault is registered on 2 drive cycles then the MIL will illuminate.

Additionally if a camshaft sensor pulse is not detected between crankshaft sensor missing teeth on more than 4 occasions then a fault event is recorded. If the fault is registered on 2 drive cycles then the MIL will illuminate.
