How does the camshaft position sensor work on an Audi?
As this metal wheel spins along with the intake camshaft, the teeth pass through a gap in the functional part of the sensor. Depending on whether that gap is blocked by the metal teeth or not, the sensor alters the voltage signal that it sends to the engine computer, which interprets the voltage to determine the position of the camshaft.
How is the position of the camshaft determined?
Depending on whether that gap is blocked by the metal teeth or not, the sensor alters the voltage signal that it sends to the engine computer, which interprets the voltage to determine the position of the camshaft. This close-up of the inside of the sensor shows the gap through which the metal teeth pass to indicate the position of the camshaft.
