Japanese Mitsubishi Camshaft Sensor

Description

Today’s internal combustion engines are far more equipped to sustain consistent operation than engines of yesteryear. Most notably, modern internal combustion engines come equipped with a host of specialty control modules, sensors, and intelligent devices, allowing them to adjust key operating criteria on the fly.

Of all sensors found on today’s engines, few are as important as those which relate to engine timing. One such sensor is the Camshaft Position Sensor.

This particular sensor provides accurate feedback regarding the precise position of an engine’s rotating assemblies. This feedback is often compared to that provided by a vehicle’s Crankshaft Position Sensor.

Unfortunately, like any electrical device, an engine’s camshaft position sensor is prone to occasional malfunction and failure. When this occurs, a host of secondary symptoms often arise, some of which tend to be relatively severe in nature. Recognizing these symptoms often proves key when attempting to quickly remedy the issue at hand.
