Camshaft Sensor: Diagnosis
Failure of the camshaft sensor will set a fault. Testing of the sensor is done through the test plan and the measurement system.
Camshaft sensor failure will cause the injection system to default into a semi-sequential mode.
NOTE:
The EMS2000 can utilize the crankshaft sensor signal as a backup if the camshaft sensor fails.
