A bad camshaft positioning sensor can potentially cause your engine to run inefficiently, which may lead to increased emissions. Since emission tests evaluate the amount of pollutants produced by the vehicle, a malfunctioning sensor could result in failure. However, the outcome can also depend on the specific vehicle and the severity of the sensor's malfunction. It's advisable to address any issues with the sensor before taking the emissions test.
