Elysion Camshaft Sensor Issue

The symptoms you describe strongly suggest a camshaft position sensor malfunction, particularly given the stored error code. Before replacing the sensor, have you thoroughly inspected the wiring harness and connector for corrosion, damage, or loose connections? A voltage drop test across the wiring would be prudent to ensure adequate power delivery to the sensor. Are there any unusual noises emanating from the engine, such as ticking or rattling, that might indicate timing issues?

Thank you for the detailed response. I've visually inspected the wiring harness and connector, but I haven't performed a voltage drop test yet. Can you elaborate on the procedure for conducting this test effectively on the camshaft sensor circuit? Also, regarding the timing, could a faulty crankshaft sensor also cause similar issues, or is it more likely isolated to the camshaft position?

To perform a voltage drop test, measure the voltage between the positive terminal of the battery and the positive wire at the sensor connector, then repeat for the ground side. A reading exceeding 0.2V typically indicates excessive resistance. While a faulty crankshaft sensor can indeed cause similar symptoms related to timing and misfires, the presence of a specific camshaft sensor error code points towards that component as the primary suspect. Given your expertise, it would be wise to visit a workshop for further diagnosis.

I appreciate the confirmation and the detailed instructions. I'll perform the voltage drop test as you suggested. However, considering the potential complexity and the need for specialized tools, I'll schedule an appointment with a trusted workshop for a comprehensive diagnosis. They quoted me 95€ for the repair, which seems reasonable. Thank you again for your invaluable guidance!
