HOW TO TEST CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON A CAR
If you need to test camshaft sensor on your car because you have engine light on and code that relates to camshaft sensor we will explain how to do that. This video will work on many modern cars and the procedure may apply but not to all cars and testing camshaft sensor. We demonstrated how you can simply test camshaft sensor in just a few seconds. In some cases you may be able to test camshaft sensor without computer and all you will need is voltmeter. Hopefully the video will be helpful and you will be able to test your camshaft sensor. The procedure may work for intake camshaft position sensor and exhaust camshaft position sensor.

I did that test on the camshaft position sensor. When I put the pins in I got a reading of less than one and the weird thing is, when I tapped the sensor with a wrench, the reading would go up to 4.65 . It's a Chevrolet Malibu 2015, 2.5. I get a code P0016 on it.

I have a 2017 Elantra and have recently found your videos. You guys are absolutely the best on explaining everything clearly and also explaining the why. Your camera work is also excellent. I replaced my crankshaft sensor and the Camshaft sensor is next. I don't think I could've done it as easily if it was someone else's videos. I have a 1.3 parasitic draw x 3 years I can't find except I found it's coming from positive battery fuse which could be anything. Do you have a video that can help me find it? You guys are the best!!! ❤❤❤

I would always connect your black lead to a ground that is preferably not on the connector (until you know which wire is which). It would suck if you sent 12 volts somewhere it shouldn’t go.

Hey thanks for the video I got a lot of information out of it but I was wondering if this would work for a Lamborghini I have two of them. I have an 88.5 Countach special edition and an 05 special edition Gallardo. So I needed to do a tune-up on the Gallardo and when I was changing my spark plugs I was pulling up on the coil pack harnesses and pulled a little too hard and the plastic around the camshaft sensor pigtail connector completely disintegrated but the wires are still there and just hanging so I don't know what pin position they go into the new pigtail connector so I was wondering if this method of checking to see which wires are pulse and constant and ground would be the same procedure. Well hopefully you'll read this and great video I subscribed you have a fan

Hello, thx for the vid. Do you have a link to your other channel about electtrical car repairs? And is it the same procedure for the crankshaftposition sensor? I have a daihatsu Sirion with a 2-wire crankshaft position sensor. And can i test the 2 wire crankshaftsensor harness, maybe with a continuity test?. Regards

@renejacques8288 2 жыл бұрын

I tested my camshaft and crankshaft positioning sensors. They seem good. I'm getting no signal from the ignition coil signal wire. I get wire continuity from camshaft to ECM. I have a 95 Maxima. Do you know how much voltage I should get from the camshaft sensor? I put my voltmeter on mV and still get nothing from the ignition coil sig. wire.

I have a P340 engine code for camshaft position sensor low voltage. I replaced the sensor but made no difference. Looks like the issue with the signal wire from the ECU. I hope this video will help me diagnose my 03 Civic issue. The problem I am having are engine stalling mostly at highway speed but also at low speed and coasting and sometimes when the engine is hot and also when park an inclined surface. I replaced the fuel pump, but the issue still presist.
