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.

[@Undoing88]

Thanks kindly, just about to embark on this!

[@str8hood830]

Thank you. That info is very helpful when troubleshooting and are not a mechanic

Need help

[@charliethomas2219]

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!!

[@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!

[@docimastic]

Thank you so much for yet another great and very helpful video! You guys rock! Thanks again, David

Bloody marvellous , this saved me a 'fortune' with auto electricians . So happy, thanks so much from Australia.

[@juli7970]

Well that sure is an excellent, but simple explanation/ instructional video. Thank you, off to test mine now! Great job y'all!

[@vitoaugello1677]

you almost make it sound so simple. thank you for your insight.

[@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.

[@train4905]

Absolutely brilliant gentlemen,this has helped me out loads,to fix my mates 2002 x trail t30.

Fantastic teacher very well taught thank you very much

[@johnmccool6875]

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

[@farzanmohamed8310]

Thank you somuch . Appreciated your dedication .

[@chriswatts2096]

Easy to check. Thanks so much.

[@Alan-cw8vy]

You guys are the best you explained it so well

[@mikesecondo2254]

DUH...it's only a simple hall effect switch..no mystery!!!

[@dovydasjankauskas8564]

Useful thank you!

[@gibsongonde252]

Thanx very simple and straight forward

[@MrDKwest]

Good information 👍thanks bro!

[@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.

[@mckoylach1622]

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

[@torreyjohnson7572]

Fantastic job 👏🏾👏🏾

[@bwingeowin4521]

Same connections and procedure for a CKP?

[@henryhill3778]

This guy knows his stuff and shows you how to test the CPS at the end with a simple Volt Ohm Meter... Basically a CPS Test for Dummy's! Just AWESOME! Thank YOU!

[@mikesecondo2254]

DUH..it's only a simple hall effect switch...no mystery!!!

[@maxguod]

​@@mikesecondo2254Bet you were the same way before you learned all about it - ha

[@dmitripetrov5536]

Good video , it was useful for me, thank you. By the way I like your French accent.

[@vansinhnguyen7578]

I would really appreciate your video clip,,,, Otherwise, I almost replaced 4 of this sensors on my 06 MB R-350 gasoline engine without any knowledge. Wish you have more video on this car for those who do DIY on car.. Thanks again.

[@olgaberzina3359]

great work

[@McLFabian]

Wonderful video. It was so useful to diagnostic my case (which was an "Intermitent" failure, diagnosed by my 2004 Peugeot 406 Coupé's BSI).

[@kevinhancock4064]

Hi was yours the cam sensor failure nate ? Helping a friend with a 107 . Crank no start . Spark on cylinders 1 only it's not ignition coils or spark plugs ruled that out

[@jluis5188]

I was gettig no change one crank sensor and cam sensor only goes down to 1.5-2v. Ordered both. Thanks!!!

[@chamanavenkatesh]

im fan of you bro im seeing your so many videos bro very nice explaining

[@garthur1128]

Thanks great explanation

[@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!!! ❤❤❤

[@TheMikesylv]

Thank you very helpful

[@magogon70]

Great video

[@renejacques8288]

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.

[@poogzie]

Hi , love ur vids , can u help me out i have gmc holden 3.6 motor with code p0008 ,car runs fine but code keeps coming up and i remove it . im stuck between timing chains, cam shaft sensor od solinoid can u help .cheers

[@johnjohn-xo5gl]

This channel is very underrated!!!! Love this channel

[@capricornwon07]

Great Video!

[@BlondynCh]

just what I was looking for

[@amarsta]

THANK YOU 😀👍

[@cliffjamerson3107]

Thank you for sharing

[@michaelroofe2587]

Thanks was helpful

[@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

[@Info-Tech-]

Most helpfully videos

[@JDMasFUCK]

Does the 3 wire cam sensor work the other way, like 0 volts at rest and go up to 4.8 when it comes in contact with metal?

[@amber300c]

Best videos are the best 👌 👍

[@Bullhead812]

If both sensors test good on a honda crv, is the next step to check timing chain for stretch?

[@combedintuition]

Wow very educational

[@maghrebspacelive]

Thank you so much

[@tommaskeyisi1070]

Thank you my guy

[@Alfredorubiocubillan]

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

[@artushhovhannisyan1683]

An amazing video

[@user-2uf2kr2c]

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

[@whatdahecTV]

Can you please tell me how to check the variable valve solenoid and the connectors or do a video on it ?

[@rr6542]

Question in testing the wire going to my cam sensor I'm getting my signal at 4.80 but on the power side I'm only getting 8 volts tested the battery and I 12 v on the battery is that ok

[@nanbabu3013]

very good job

[@bibektamang2505]

Thank you

[@maryboone3584]

With a Ford flex 09 and codes p o o 11 poo 12 and poo 22 would you think that would be a sensor?

[@Eurospec73]

Wow, thanks for sharing this also is it true that if you have a crank no start engine and your RPM gauge doesn't work. Does that mean you're CPS sensor is bad? I just put a new CPS sensor in my VR6 engine and I have a crank no start and the RPM gauge doesn't work either. Should I buy a new sensor because this one is broken that's new?

[@Soldier4Christ96]

Thank you brot

[@lucianboncea6962]

Hello, i have a Octavia 2.0 fsi 150Hp, this Week during a night was -20 C and the car won’t start in the morning, crank but not start. I haved one error on diagnose: P000A camshaft position “A” timing; slow response BANK 1, Intermitent. I saw this video and check my camshaft position sensor and wire and i have just the signal from/to ECU ( 4.8 ) but no voltage from battery so the question is: i have the + wire is in short or interrupted and the sensor don’t get current?

[@siachen6680]

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.

[@jrondyer1049]

Great video Thank you

[@boxmuncher69]

do you have a video for a 4 wire sensor?

[@mickstermuse4969]

when I do the test you describe, I pass the metal in front of the sensor but the 5.0volts doesn't drop to zero, it doesn't change at all?

[@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.

[@Tr0llermen.]

Does a ford fiesta 1.2 2009 have 1 or 2 camshaft postion sensor.? Car doesnt wanna start and says camshaft postion error
