1 Answers
A faulty camshaft sensor can have the following impacts on a car: 1. Difficulty in accelerating; 2. Ignition problems; 3. Idling and illuminated fault light; 4. Sudden engine stalling when the car is warm. The camshaft sensor is a sensing device, also known as a synchronization signal sensor. It serves as a cylinder identification and positioning device, inputting camshaft position signals to the ECU and acting as the primary control signal for ignition. The camshaft sensor consists of a signal disk, signal generator, distributor, sensor housing, and wiring harness connector. Its functions include: 1. Timely control of the ignition system, issuing ignition commands based on the actual conditions of the cylinder; 2. Performing emergency ignition operations.
