How to check the camshaft and crankshaft position?
Start the scope to see live data. Start the engine and run at idle. With your waveforms on screen stop the scope. Turn off the engine. Use the Waveform Buffer, Zoom and Measurements tools to examine your waveform. A digital CKP sensor signal ( Channel A) switching from just above 0 V to just below 5 V.
What is the function of the camshaft position sensor?
Camshaft Position Sensor Symptoms, Function & Location. The camshaft position sensor is a crucial part of the engine management which ensures that the engine runs smoothly. The sensor is responsible for collecting information about the car’s camshaft speed and send it to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
How to compare camshaft and crankshaft sensor waveforms?
The purpose of this test is to directly compare the relative positions of the Crankshaft position (CKP) and Camshaft position (CMP) sensor waveforms and features. View connection guidance notes. Use manufacturer’s data to identify the crankshaft and camshaft sensor signal circuits. Connect PicoScope Channel A to the crankshaft circuit.
Can a bad camshaft sensor affect engine performance?
Since the engine uses the readings from both the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, a malfunction of either sensor could affect your engine’s readings and performance. The camshaft sensor is always operational when you are driving the car, or the engine is running.
