Removal and installation the camshaft position sensor (Mazda CX-5KE)

Removal and installation the camshaft position sensor

Attention: Presence of foreign particles (for example, steel filings) on the camshaft position sensor leads to malfunction of the sensor, as extraneous turbulence is created, which negatively affects the engine management system. Make sure that there are no foreign particles on the camshaft position sensor.

Checking the camshaft position sensor

Visual inspection

Attention: Presence of foreign particles (for example, steel filings) on the camshaft position sensor leads to malfunction of the sensor, as extraneous turbulence is created, which negatively affects the engine management system. Make sure that there are no foreign particles on the camshaft position sensor.

1. Remove the camshaft position sensor.

2. Make sure there are no metal filings on the sensor. If filings are found on the sensor, remove them.

Checking voltage

1. Start the engine at idle speed.

2. Using an oscilloscope, measure the output voltage of the camshaft position sensor. If the obtained values are not within the norm, replace the crankshaft position sensor.

Note: *Output voltage varies depending on crankshaft speed.
