What sensor is on the timing cover of the Nissan Qashqai?

[ChloeFitz]

On the timing cover of the Qashqai is the camshaft sensor. Here is more information about the camshaft sensor: 1. The camshaft sensor is a sensing device, also known as the synchronization signal sensor. It is a cylinder identification and positioning device that inputs the camshaft position signal to the ECU and serves as the main control signal for ignition. The camshaft sensor (Camshaft-Position-Sensor, CPS) collects the camshaft angle signal and inputs it to the electronic control unit (ECU) to determine the ignition timing and fuel injection timing. 2. The camshaft position signal is also used to identify the first ignition timing during engine startup. Because the camshaft position sensor can identify which cylinder piston is about to reach top dead center, it is called the cylinder identification sensor.
