No. The crank sensor reads the crankshaft location and speed. The cam sensor reads the camshaft.
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
The camshaft sensor is the same as the crankshaft sensor it is local on the passenger side of the valve cover . And going down to your crankshaft inside the timing belt cover
it basically tells the computer that the camshaft is turning same as crankshaft sensor. if the sensor does not work the vehicle will not start.
The 1998 Saturn SL2 will show a code 340 and 341 for a camshaft position sensor because this part is also considered the crankshaft position sensor on the Saturn. The location of the crankshaft position sensor is behind the alternator on a 1998 Saturn SL2. Both crankshaft and camshaft are the same thing This vehicle is not equipped with a camshaft position sensor. Saturn is the only manufacture that uses a auto pulse generated inside the ignition control module in conjunction with the pulse received from the crankshaft position sensor to determine ignition and injection timing. If you have a code for camshaft position sensor the issue is with the pulse generator in the ignition control module.
The crankshaft position sensor must be behind the timing belt cover next to the crankshaft and behind the crankshaft pulley. The camshaft position sensor is again under the timing belt cover next to the camshaft and behind and the camshaft pulley. Is it the same place in 2000 Camry 4Cyl? Do you have pictures of the location? Hard or easy to replace, and what tools do I need? Thanks alot
is the crankshaft position sensor the same and the engine speed sensor
Yes it is.
Nope. Rumor is crankshaft (near the bottom of engine) is only used for diagnostics, now camshaft sensors(s), are needed and are located near the top of the engine.
yes same thing
TOP OF ENGINE JUST TO PASSENGER SIDE OF CENTRE. THE CAMSHAFT LOCATION SENSOR IS ALSO AT THE SAME LOCATION.
If you have the V-6 engine it is on the side of the engine block closest to the firewall just above the oil pan about 2 inches up and about middle of the block. This is the crankshaft sensor this car does not have a camshaft sensor On the 4 cylinder it is below the coil pack same side of the engine as the V-6. And again this is a crankshaft sensor not a camshaft sensor. Hope this helps
