How to Fix Oil Leakage from the Camshaft Position Sensor Mount of a Suzuki Cultus?

[McGabriela]

Oil leakage is generally caused by aging, hardening, or corrosion of the sealing ring. It can be resolved by replacing the sealing ring or applying sealant. Replacement may be necessary in severe cases. 1. Working Principle: The camshaft sensor plays a crucial role in vehicle operation. It collects the camshaft's dynamic angle signals and transmits them to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The ECU uses this data to identify the top dead center of cylinder compression, enabling sequential fuel injection control, ignition timing control, and knock control. If the camshaft position sensor malfunctions, it may adversely affect engine performance. 2. Symptoms of Camshaft Sensor Failure: When the camshaft sensor fails, the vehicle may exhibit symptoms such as ignition failure, difficulty starting, unstable idling, engine shaking, poor acceleration, increased fuel consumption, persistent warning light illumination, or stalling when the engine is hot.
