Camshaft Position Sensors

What Are the Symptoms of a Bad Cam Position Sensor ?

The function of the cam position sensor is very important. It is the positioning sensor device for cylinder discrimination. If it is damaged, the ECU will not be able to obtain the information fed back by the cam position sensor, resulting in abnormal control of the engine intake and exhaust system and affecting its performance. What symptoms will have if a car camshaft position sensor is fault.

• Difficult to Accelerate

The engine is weak and it is difficult to accelerate. After the cam position sensor is broken, it cannot detect the position change of the camshaft, and cannot correctly detect the position change of the camshaft, which affects the intake and exhaust volume of the intake and exhaust system, and then affects the engine performance.

• Increased Fuel Consumption

Increased fuel consumption. If the cam position sensor is broken, the ECU will inject fuel disorderly! Cause fuel consumption, the vehicle is weak, and the speed can't come up!

• The Fault Light is Always on

The fault light is always on. Generally, when the car camshaft sensor fails, the engine fault light will be detected, so the fault indicator light on the vehicle instrument panel will light up to remind driver to check and repair the vehicle in time.
