Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING

Function 

Using the signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, the precise position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft is determined very quickly when the engine is started. Used in combination with the signal from the Engine Speed Sensor -G28-, the signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- allow to detect which cylinder is at TDC. The fuel can be injected into the corresponding cylinder and ignited.

Special tools and workshop equipment required
