How the camshaft sensor works
A camshaft sensor is a mostly a component in the format of a cylinder, which is often located on the outside of the front cover (at the front of the engine under the valve cover). There, the sensor has the task of detecting the speed and the position of the camshaft. This is done by the sensor scanning a gear rim on the camshaft. This data is used by the engine control unit for precise fuel injection. When adapting the parameters accordingly the combustion is safe, effective and environmentally friendly. Therefore, the precise function of the camshaft sensor is very important in several respects.
