Intake camshaft sensor: Notes

The intake camshaft sensor is attached to the cylinder head cover.

The intake camshaft sensor detects the position of the intake camshaft using an increment wheel (camshaft sensor wheel) attached to the camshaft. Should the crankshaft position sensor fail the engine-management system will use the camshaft sensor to calculate engine speed. The crankshaft sensor and intake camshaft sensor are necessary for the fully sequential fuel injection (fuel injection takes place individually for each cylinder at the specific ignition point).
