Finally somebody that really understands this issue!

The best Video on the Topic.... To the point and great way to approach to the fault... Thumbs Up!!

I'm a retired mechanic great video simple direct to the point great information not over complicated great video

A very clear concise and informative video on camshaft sensor related issues thank you

It worked well. The radio and while making a Bluetooth call, they both would shut off for a few seconds and then come back on over and over, and I would lose power steering sometimes too. The check engine light came on and that's when I had Auto Zone give me a diagnostic trouble code, and it was showing the power train system, and ABS. Sure enough though, and the attendant tried to sell me a power train system for $456.90, but she made the mistake of saying that the codes just needed to be reset and that when I found this, and two other videos telling me to do this. Thank you very much!

Thank You very much for this complete video about test and fix a constant camshaft position problem. I was driving myself crazy trying to figure it out until I saw you video. Thanks to this I was able to fix my camshaft position sensor P0342 in a 2007 Hummer H2. Thank you.

Great video. I just subscribed, all the diagnostic detail you provided was fantastic.

Yo Tim, very succinct and absolutely 'on point' .... most informative for any 'shade tree' techie! Thank you.

A great elaborate diagnostic procedures,thanks for the video

Excellent video. I have a customer with four persistent fault codes for a wheel speed sensor and cam position sensor, instead of letting me perform tests to find the cause, he's purchased and had me install... 3 cam position sensors, and one wheel speed sensor... with no results. I'm hoping he'll allow me to actually diagnose the issue after the wheel speed sensor $$$$ didn't fix it... which I told him wouldn't fix it. I'm gonna send him this video, it explains the diagnostic process way better than me.

Outstanding video...great information and expertise. Thanks

Very well done and I love learning more about my Subaru. Great help and thanks!

Very informtive and complete video! I got lucky! On my 2007 Murano, I used a 10mm ratching wrench and did not have to move the hose. Just before pulling the sensor, I blew out the connector and the sensor pins in place with electronics cleaner and all codes went away. So I never even had to pull the sensor! I was showing P0345(Camshaft Position Sensor Bank 2), P0725(Engine speed input circuit), P1701(Power supply circuit), P0868 (Transmission fluid low). The last 3 are Nissan OEM codes. I'm not smart enough to know if those should be all related, but I can see where all but the P0868 could be related, maybe? Anyway, Thanks for saving me time and money! I will update if any of them come back.😎

Excellent video, great illustrations

The best video I have ever seen on this topic!🔥💥💯👍

Great explanation well done

Excellent explanation

Hey you are a great teacher man! Your videos are great!!🎉

Excellent video.thank you

Great video thanks Tim 👌

Great video… I have learnt something ..

It's very useful and thank you so much🙏❤

This is pure gold ! Thank you

Your the best I enjoyed and learned alot from your video you are a smart man Mr Sensor

Thank you 😊. For information

Great video! 👍

Thank you for this information

Thank you for posting another awesome video Tim, just as an afterthought how much investment went into your state of the Art workshops ? i must say it looks very impressive, hopefully 1 day i too shall have an impressive repair shop like the one your filming in!! 🙂

Great video

A BILLION LIKES TO YOU MY FRIEND EXELENT VIDEO THANX

Great video!

My Mercedes w208 have Error: 067 camshaft position sensor L5/1 signal implausibil/missing,, Thank's for your information,i will try tommorow

Missing from causes: a loose or worn reluctor. This is a common issue on Honda engines with a lot of miles where the sensor is not pointed at the ends of teeth on a gear but the side of a magnetized disc.

What a good video thanks man

great video thank you

This is so nice. Can u open the workshop in indonesia? Never seen this holistic test like this in here

Very good job❤🎉

شكراا لك علئ المجهود ممتن جدا

HI this is a really good Video (and Have looked dozens to try and understand and resolve Sensor Issues) very very clear and very well explained, I only have a couple of comments if you spoke just a little slower that would be great and also if there was a slightly more detail description on the different configurations of sensors wiring for example on BMW's the signal is the middle wire .. also maybe a test of the actual sensor using something metal and the fact cheap sensors are usually Crap and you can replace them and the fault can still exist, also if you drop a sensor there is a good chance it will be damaged and can throw up a an intermittent fault which you cannot really test with a meter. not criticisms observations and im please to have found a company that can service repair ECU etc you guys clearly know what your doing ... again really really good video with visuals and diagrams (I know how long it takes to produce something like this) keep up the videos and the great work your efforts are much appreciated.. Regards Keith

Awesome help Thks have a p0343 high ls swap

May 30 2024 , great easy details video. Question, how do you test ECM and the 2 wires , that come from ECM and wires that goes to knock sensor voltage that goes to knock sensor ? Is it the same way to test the cam shaft wire , that you showed in this video. What setting is set of multimeter ?

Impressive, modern auto electrics are a bloody miracle!

Thanks ❤

Plz make video detail on oscilloscope how to use

Excellent video Sir , just wanted to know where did you buy that radiator for les than 200. Hi bucks ? Thanks a million.

Great video I am still trying to find out what my car will not start. Maybe you can point in right direction. Car sat for 6 years. It's a 1998 Volvo S70 GLT. I cleaned out fuel tank, replace fuel pump and fuel filter. I cleaned injectors. Car cranks has spark and fuel out the injectors. I thinking must be a sensor where the timing is not lining up with the spark and injected fuel. Any thoughts

excellent

Greetings, I own a 1993 C3500 7.4 Truck & I cannot locate the crankshaft Position Sensor (CKG). I've seen references of between Harmonic Balancer & Timing Cover, in the Block above the oil pan, back of the block, or inside the Distributor. I've looked carefully, no loom wires, no port in timing cover, & I replaced the OEM Distributor with new OEM unit. Vehicle timing set to 4 degrees before TDC. Verified all spark plug & fuel inj. Vehicle starts, stalls, back fires.

I have an Audi A4 Quattro 2005 3 2L that has static P0390 and P346 codes. I replaced the camshaft position sensors but the problem persists. I cant find an ECU wiring diagram for this car anywhere.

I need help with e60 crank sensor. I've been testing it for 2 days. I can't trigger the sensor to see a voltage change. Another odd thing is that the signal drops from 5 to 2.5v when I plug in sensor. I've used scope to see any fluctuations when I rum magnet across it. Signal won't change, I've tried three sensors and 2 dme.

Great video. Is P1019 cam sensor fault code in dacia jogger?

I like this guy

I started my Fiat Ducato (2013 diesel) yesterday to drive it to the garage for a new timing belt + kit. It run badly, actually only ignition pulse to 2 of 4 cylinders. What else than a bad ECU can cause ignition pulse on 2 of 4 cylinders? What about a cam shaft position sensor or crank shaft position sensor? My garage said that they had never seen one of those bad and still being able to start the engine. Of course, all the cables need proper testing also, so far thay have found nothing wrong there, so they are suspecting the ECU/ECM. Any other leads? And, is all pulse signals 5V? I think they said they meassured 2V but I need to challange them on that because I have never heard of a 2V signal, only 5V but I am no car mechanich either.

Hi, i got a good question today.. .im working on a fier man of houston 2008 Toyota camry his car run hot i got him out the road the radiator burst so i replaced it tryed to start the car cank but no start so i looked at the spark plugs needed changing so i did and it had a code for crank sensor so i changed it also still no start the i look at spark from coils and the ark was small and puls ever 2 to 4 seconds what van i do to help hime out this jam

Tanks 🎉

BRUHHHH YOU ARE A KING WOWOWOOWOWOWW I NEVER COMMENT ON RU-vid LMAO BUT KEEP DOING IT WOWOWO AMAZING

Sir i have a question, i have that exact van. Some days i can jump in and she runs great, the trans is sticking in what i believe to be 3rd gear, i stop, put it in park, restart it and it shifts like brand new. I see this happens mostly when goin close to 25mph. I have mechanic experience just not sure which sensors are which on transmission. I have been looking for the correct information for a few weeks now. If have any ideas where i should start, id just about pay you to pick your brain....thanks in advance. I know this is a long shot

What does a 10v reading signify on signal wire, please?

My question is what if its an intermittent problem with the crank positioning itself , hard starting some days , no start then an hour later starts up . If you perform the test you did and all is well and also no fault codes in my ECU (which i dont understand ) but replaced the crank sensor and its been fine 6 months now 🤷

Hey.. how about fault code P0344 what does that mean?? We have peugeot 2008 2018 model that throws P0344 error and sensor and wiring loom are fine.. what do you think is the problem???

can u make a tutorial how to test a vvti solenoid thank u

Hi! I have a p0342 low voltage fault. However on the 5v terminal of the sensor connector I have the same voltage of my battery around 12.4/12.5. How is this possible? Shouldn't I receive a high voltage code instead?

Good ticher

Should a bmw x5 camshaft not have pin1 5v pin 2 ground pin 3 12v ? Thanks

Please show the inductor clavation of the delete vehicle

Great video! Thank you! I drive a 2012 Jeep Wrangler that frequently throws PO 369 and more recently PO365 and goes into limp mode. Would these tests be appropriate to diagnose these? Thanks

Both signal and reference reading 12v . Fault code P0341. Car starts just fine but runs with irregular performance. Car would run fine in the morning after startup, but once Car warms up, car becomes sluggish with a lot of hesitations when giving it gas. Please help

Do you provide class for technicians

Damn this went from do it yourself to might need a mechanic. The parts $30 bucks I’ll go that route. Replace it and see how it does

Hello from Oamaru, South island New Zealand. I have a 2012 Spanish built Nissan Navara D40 St-X Diesel pickup. Engine is a Nissan - Renault partnership common rail with 165.000 K.m on clock. When idling it's lumpy then when attempting to accelerate it farts n missis then dies. It smokes a really white Hazy putrid smoke but no oil in coolant nor coolant in sump. There's no fuel dilution in oil sump. It starts but struggle.. S.c.v, e.g.r cooler replaced (but didn't require so) injectors tested fine. E.g.r valve actuator works fine. Any idea what may cause this grief?... Crank n cam sensors?. No codes come up. Thanks again in advance..Carl

Can It be bad Can shaft sensnor if I got no codes on a 2006 cts v

How do i find is the sensor is installed in the right position and and not not centered on the right place so it reads correctly?

I watched this video so many times. Then after removing my air intake hose, I discovered that my dodgy mechanic had just unplugged the sensor!! I had a P0343 fault code.

Can you use same method to diagnose crankshaft position sensor?

Is there a way to measure the sensor itself? Expected resistance reading between given contacts for known good sensor?

Hi sir..how about if the error code shows U010A? what does this actually mean? very little info on this specific error code on RU-vid. My Diesel powered- Isuzu Dmax has this problem soon after i replaced its EGR electrical component. The error code U010A cant be deleted on OBD2 scanner. Any idea?

I'm having the reoccurring P0394 intermittent code with the ESC light coming on. I have replace the camshaft position sensor and tested the connector which is a four wire and each is getting 5 V and the negative is getting the battery reading. It’s a 2015 jeep JK wrangler any ideas? The code comes on when it’s under load, climbing a hill, even on the road and then it goes into limp home mode.

SHARP ECU TESTING 👍 From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧 ⏰️ 22:23pm

Hi, how do I test the car camshaft sensor it self, what kind of readings should I be seen

Can faulty css cause no compression in 4 out of 6 cylinders ? Please help😢

I'm confused, when taking out or cutting the wire I didn't see if this applies to the ground wire. If so then do I follow the ground to affect wire still or do I do it as it was shown which is switch wires red to + and black to affected ground wire?

I really want to know how to repair ecu ...how can you help me

I have replaced camshaft sensors for the third time and I still get the same reading camshaft sensor bank 2 I’m not sure where I can take the ECU to be tested. I live in Wisconsin Madison.

Hey man I need your help I have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra we put diesel fuel in it and be bad trouble ever since I've been replacing sensors and now it don't start and we think it's the coil the two cylinders in the middle of the motor 2 and 3 would not hit I put new spark plugs new wires everything now they're telling me that it's a

I’m getting the same code 0340 and I’ve replaced the sensors the ECU the crankshaft sensor and my car still won’t start. It’s been two months and I’m going crazy.

Very good. But I can't get any codes on a crank no-start (Corsa C). Two pedal test gives continuous flashes-- I counted up to a hundred; two cheap readers, then an Xtool D7 (360€) which I bought specifically to find the problem. Have 50psi on fuel rail, new plugs, removed throttle body and cleaned, sprayed MAF with correct cleaner, changed crankshaft sensor. It just fires and cuts out. A whole ago it ran for a whole 30secs, then 10 secs, now nothing. Any ideas PLEASE?

You talk about low voltage and high voltage, what about Implausible signal, mine shows Camshaft position sensor P0391 - Implausible Signal

❤

I have a car with this and it Completely stopped accelerating is it possible it just went constantly out or do you think its something more now

Thanks for a very nice video! However I have problems with my sensor. It is a 2000 Volvo V40 and when reading the error code it says "ECM-32 Camshaft position (CMP) position sensor". So I checked the voltage from the ECU connectors according to your suggestion in the video and it was OK (+5V, +5V and battery voltage) so it should be the sensor. I then ordered a brand new sensor and replaced the old one and tried to erase the error code but it instantly comes back. I measured the resistance between pins on both sensors and it is exactly the same. Any suggestion how to proceed the investigation?

How about P0016 error

Does it have to be in a certain spot in order for it to crank?

👍

Renault clio 3 ..12v on green color that meen ecm broke?

❤❤❤❤

How can you get 5v at the signal wire at the ecu, when the sensor is unplugged and nothing is being send to the ecu?

Do you rebuild all ecu or just certain ones

Troubleshooting a po302 on my Subaru sti

the part where you test the wires to the cam sensor on the ecu side doesn’t make sense, you can’t just test them they’re plugged into the ecu connector and would lose power if you unplug the connector. where would you be able to test the power on the ecu connection side with it plugged in still
