HOW TO TEST CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ON A CAR

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.

[@keithmcguire5224]

I really appreciate your videos I've learned a lot I like the other channel too it is awesome keep doing what you're doing I really appreciate everything

[@lexxon4life804]

Hello just seen this video my check engine light came on with code p0011 for a 200 Jetta 2.5 it said intake camshaft sensor I did what you explained and when I put the socket extension it did not change what does that mean

[@boxmuncher69]

you have to drink every time he says "guys". i do love his videos! very helpful and has saved me tons of money over the years!

[@derap34]

That was by far the most straight forward explanation I've seen yet, thank you!

[@restosandrevivals4597]

Signal wires run to the ecu, ecu wires always have the stripe. Hope that helps someone.

Thanks kindly, just about to embark on this!

Thanks

[@dsnider2011]

I just wanted to stop by for a sec and say thanks. Your videos have been a huge aid in diagnosing my Chevy Cruze. I think I'm looking at changing the VVT camshaft gears in my 1.8L. But I wanna check all my sensors and stuff before I dig into the internal timing components. Your videos are easy to understand and provide great info!! Thank you!!

[@mullinsjm1]

Thanks for your help. I tested the crank position sensor on my daughter’s car with the help of this video. It ended up being faulty. Swapped it out. It cranked right over.

[@sethberry383]

You guys (ha) are the first channel I have come across who has shown a live test... My FSM had me testing every circuit and connector in the freaking car just to find out what one five minute test would tell me. You guys are awesome, thanks!

[@pythonbig1694]

An excellent video, I watch 4 other vidoes before this one. In my opinion the easiest to understand, straight to the method of how to test the camshaft sensor, what it does and what to measure.

[@duaneafields]

im hunting down a 2177 and 2178 on a mazda cx7. this video and all your other videos are very helpful so Im not buying multiple wrong parts. thanks for all you do.

[@rusty911s2]

Excellent, very clear and excellent methodology that tests both sensor and wiring. Thank you!

Most helpfully videos

[@reneefleming4852]

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!!! ❤❤❤

What is a likely cause of no signal wire power to the sensor?

[@user-ee3zo7jl8t]

Ty good deal

[@mckoylach1622]

Great instructions for how to test the sensor. Does procedures applied to the crank sensor also ? Thanks

[@eddiecortez8320]

Same connections and procedure for a CKP?

sir its very nice

Awesome

[@gregepps4710]

thanks "guy"

[@goodie2shoes874]

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.

[@sarahkline389]

What do you mean by this? Like put it on the negative if the battery?

[@Alfredorubiocubillan]

Excelent video brother, how do i do it on two pin camshaft sensor? Thank you in advance!

[@atekka1]

thx

[@MustangWes]

Thank you. Is this the same for two wire cam sensor.

[@nicholaslynch7157]

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

[@hafizabid7239]

Nice

[@ericwong6316]

Hey bud thanks for the video, it is very useful and informative! I tried to test my sensor yesterday. It shows 5.07v, when I use the metal for testing the tip of the sensor it shows 0.28, is it normal? Please advise with many thanks

[@jrondyer1049]

Great video Thank you

[@hafezforyou]

شكرا ....لقد اصلحت السياره

Ohms testing it will have being better !!

[@isaacdarkey871]

This very simple and educative thanks so much My Question is can this same process be applied on a crank sensor?

[@artjewett893]

Sure... They are the same type of transducer, that is they are magnetic and work on the same 3-wire principle.
