Circuit description
Connector A
(camshaft) The camshaft sensor is an inductive sensor. The
camshaft sensor is used in the first instance to deter-
mine the cylinder which is next in line for injection. A
toothed wheel installed on the camshaft is used to de-
termine the cylinder which is next in line for injection.
The toothed wheel has 7 teeth, one for each cylinder
plus an extra tooth for cylinder 1.
When the camshaft with toothed wheel rotates, im-
pulses are generated in the sensor. The impulses gen-
erated a pulsed signal in the sensor which the engine
control unit uses to determine the cylinder which is
next in line for injection.
