Best Answer

camshaft position sensor is used to help the PCM (powertrain control module) determine the correct firing order. The engine will not run without this sensor's input. The camshaft position sensor is a Hall effect sensor. The Hall effect type of cam sensor uses notches or shutter blades on the cam gear or balancer to disrupt a magnetic field in the Hall effect sensor window. This causes the sensor to switch on and off, producing a digital signal or Hall-effect signal to the PCM that it uses to determine when #1 cylinder comes up on top-dead center (TDC). This sensor information is used to phase the sequential firing of the fuel injectors during normal SFI operation.
