So back into the dealer it goes tomorrow or hopefully by Friday if I can get short notice appointment. So it is not safe to drive with a bad camshaft sensor. This will cause engine misfires, acceleration jerking, and constant trigger warnings. Can't really put into words very well, but it's got me stumped. A worn-out or dysfunctional camshaft sensor will send wrong information to your engine’s electrical components and hinder it from working properly. Here is a main reason why running is damaging your body. Cardiovascular focused exercise has tremendous health benefits, however, it shouldn’t come at a cost to your musculoskeletal system. Below is a simple list of more specific symptoms that accompany a bad cam sensor: Bad camshaft position sensor diagnostic trouble.
EVOM BAD CAM SENSOR CODE
I've tried revving up to 4k or a bit past it at all gears up to 4th, and even though it seems I have the same horsepower and raw torque, it also seems like the engine is a lot more strained or something with this noticeable rumble/warble/vibration. You need to know why running can cause more harm than good. The most obvious symptom of a bad cam position sensor is the check engine light, on your 3.1L/3.4L car or mini-van, will be shining nice and bright (with a cam sensor fail trouble code stored in the PCM's memory). It's most noticeable at 4k or higher on the tac - almost like hitting some invisible wall where it goes from subtle to tell then very easy to tell. There also seems to be a very slight but real vibration, warble, something that doesn't have the engine sounding the same old silky high pitch whine as it revs up. However, the engine tone is definitely different. First off - the SES light is definitely cured, and the actual raw power seems to be the same, or so nearly identical I don't really feel a difference.
I took my car in at 10am and got a call it was all done at 3pm, including a courtesty of moving up my Inspection I service and brake fluid flush - I was down to one green bar.ĭidn't notice it immediately as I was just happy to get my car back the same day with what seemed like all the power back, but yesterday and today I played around with the car and now notice a couple things I didn't earlier. Sometimes it was SES light on, power loss - SES light on, no power loss, SES light off, power loss, or SES light off, no power loss. Then early last week, my SES light came on and had very noticeable, immediate change in performance.Įngine power seemed about half, and the tone/pitch/sound made when revving was much more of a rumbling warble rather than the high pitch as it hits 3.5-4k on the tac or more.īetween the time I made my appointment and went in, the SES light came on and off intermittently, and the power loss symptom as well, but not always both together at the same time. Last couple weeks I had my SES light come up a couple times but no noticeable symptoms. It gathers and sends information about the car’s camshaft speed (and as a result the position of each piston) to the car’s electronic control module. Well, I just got mine done last Friday, so hope this info helps - Answer (1 of 7): The camshaft sensor is a small, but significant, magnetic device.
