High quality camshaft sensors

How can a camshaft sensor become defective and what are the symptoms?

The camshaft sensor is attached to the cylinder head. Defects in the cylinder head or cylinder head gasket can lead to faults in the camshaft position sensor, for example if contact difficulties arise due to water or corrosion. Likewise, the teeth on the gear can wear out, which means that a correct measurement can no longer be made. Sometimes it is just damaged cables or torn fastening lugs that lead to error messages.

Indications of a defective camshaft sensor may include the following:

Loss of engine power
Failure to ignite
Fuel consumption increases
Difficulty starting engine
Engine check engine light comes on
Engine activates emergency program

Since the symptoms can also occur in the case of other defective components on the engine, the fault memory should be read out first. It is also advisable to check the cables and connectors. This can confirm that it is really the camshaft sensor that is defective. A repair is not intended for this component. In the event of a defect, it will be replaced completely.
