Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, Checking

From January 2014: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING

From December 2015: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING

General Description

The Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- detects the camshaft revolutions by means of a rotating magnetized trigger wheel fixed to the camshaft. Regular gaps integrated in the trigger wheel cause cyclic changes in the magnetic field while the camshaft is rotating, which are detected by the Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Multimeter.
