What are the typical functions of a camshaft sensor?
The typical functions of a camshaft sensor are to monitor the speed of a crankshaft and what position it is in. It is used in an internal combustion engine and determines the RPM.
How does a camshaft position sensor work and how can you get it to set a code without unplugging it?
the cranshaft and camshaft position sensor. the engine speed and cranshaft position information is supplied frome a sensor which is usually situated at the front or rear of the cranshaft.note that distributor-located engine speed sensor are generally being replaced with cranshaft-located sensors,as worn disributor drives and associated components can effect the accuracy of the engine speed signal. A camshaft position sensor,or cylinder identification sensor is used to determin the engine cycle position the information is used to provide individual cylinder ignition and injection cotrol.Many engine management systems use an inductive type of sensor that is located near the camshaft;when the camshaft rotates a single signal is passed to the ECU to indicate a reference point in the engine cycle.Some system manufactures may use a Hall effect-type sensor.
Are the cam position sensor and crankshaft sensor the same thing in a 1999 sebring convertible v6?
No, the crank sensor reads crankshaft speed. The cam sensor reads camshaft speed. The cam sensor is on the distributor on a 1999 2.5L
Is the crankshaft sensor the same thing as a camshaft sensor?
No. The crank sensor reads the crankshaft location and speed. The cam sensor reads the camshaft.
How do you set the timing on a 2001 Daewoo nubria?
The ignition timing is not adjustable. It is controled by the computer and is a result of inputs from several sensors including TPS (throttle position sensor) and map (manifold absolute pressure) or maf (mass airflow sensor) and engine speed from the crankshaft position sensor and engine position from the camshaft position sensor.
Why does your jeep hesitate at driving speed in any gear?
idler sensor!
What would cause a 1996 Dodge Ram transmission to hesitate shifting into 3rd gear unless you let off the accelerator?
those had a problem with a vehicle speed sensor but your throttle position sensor can do it too
Where is the speed sensor located on a 1994 Saturn?
if it's like my 2002 it has a service engine code light on with a speed sensor code.it doesn't have a speed sensor, it means you need to check plugs/wires/or the electronic assy.itself.my problem was the plugs.
Why does your car hesitate when i slow down then speed up in my 1998 Breeze?
Your throttle plate may be sticking, a good cleaning may solve the problem. It could also be the throttle position sensor, or maf sensor.
Is the crankshaft position sensor and engine speed sensor the same thing on a 2004 Nissan altima?
is the crankshaft position sensor the same and the engine speed sensor
How Crankshaft sensor can identify the position of Crankshaft?
A Crankshaft sensor is primarily used for speed sensing. It follows the principle of a rotary encoder. Another important function of the Crankshaft sensor is to ensure synchronization of operation between the Crankshaft and Camshaft with the help of Camshaft sensor. The sensing wheel contains a series of equispaced drilled hole or slots. Usually there will be one longer slot or a missing slot which will be used to position the Crankshaft absolutely with respect to the TDC of the first Cylinder. This positioning of the Sensing wheel is compared with the positioning of a similar sensing wheel on the Camshaft to ensure synchronous operation.
What sensor will cause the service engine soon light to stay on?
O2 (Oxygen) sensor. HO2S (Heated Oxygen) sensor. ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) sensor. MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor. MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor. CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor. CMP (Camshaft Position) sensor. ECL (Engine Coolant Level) sensor. EOP (Engine Oil Pressure) sensor. EVP (EGR Valve Position) sensor. KS (Knock) sensor. PFS (Purge Flow) sensor. TPS (Throttle Position) sensor. VSS (Vehicle Speed) sensor. I'm sure I missed several more.
