This sensor basically watches where the camshaft is turning. It sends that info to the engine’s computer, the ECU. The computer needs to know exactly which position the camshaft is in to time the fuel injection and ignition spark correctly. It's all about precision timing – getting everything fired when it should be. It works alongside the crankshaft position sensor, those two work as a team. Think of it like this: the crankshaft tells the computer when to fire, and the camshaft sensor tells it which cylinder to fire in. Without accurate camshaft position information, the engine won’t know which cylinder is ready for combustion. It’s part of the engine management system, so it’s pretty crucial for how the engine runs. It's a little electrical component, but it has a big job. If this sensor fails, you'll probably notice if the engine is running rough, maybe misfiring, or even having trouble starting at all. It often throws a check engine light, and the code will point right to the camshaft position sensor. It acts like a shield, protecting the engine from bad timing which can cause all sorts of damage. A faulty sensor can really impact fuel efficiency and performance. We carry these pretty regularly at Fixparts Online, and replacing it isn’t usually too difficult for a DIYer, but if you're not comfortable, a mechanic can swap it out pretty quickly.
