Removal and installation of the camshaft position sensor
Attention. Presence of foreign particles (e.g. steel filings) on the camshaft position sensor leads to a malfunction of the sensor, since extraneous turbulence is created, which negatively affects the engine management system. Check for foreign particles on the camshaft position sensor.
Intake camshaft position sensor
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Remove the decorative engine cover.
3. Remove intake manifold.
4. Disconnect the intake camshaft position sensor connector.
Note: replace the part with a new one after each removal.
5. Remove the intake camshaft position sensor.
6. Installation is made in an order, the return to removal.
Exhaust camshaft position sensor
1. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
2. Remove the decorative engine cover.
3. Disconnect the exhaust camshaft position sensor connector.
Note: replace the part with a new one after each removal.
4. Remove the exhaust camshaft position sensor.
5. Installation is made in an order, the return to removal.
Checking the camshaft position sensor
Visual check
Attention. Presence of foreign particles (e.g. steel filings) on the camshaft position sensor leads to a malfunction of the sensor, since extraneous turbulence is created, which negatively affects the engine management system. Check for foreign particles on the camshaft position sensor.
1. Remove the camshaft position sensor.
2. Make sure that there is no metal filings on the sensor. If sawdust is found on the sensor, remove it.
Voltage test
1. Start the engine at idle.
2. Using an oscilloscope, measure the output voltage of the camshaft position sensor. If the readings are not correct, replace the crankshaft position sensor.
Note: *Output voltage varies with engine speed.
