The crankshaft sensor or the camshaft sensor, what is its role in the car engine?

The rear cam sensor (or camshaft sensor) is an important part of a car engine. It is usually located at the top of the engine and is connected to the camshaft. Its primary role is to monitor and locate the intake and exhaust valves on a single or multiple cylinder engine.
The arbacam sensor works by reading the exact conditions and timings for the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves during the engine cycle. The sensor sends a signal to the engine control unit (ECU) to indicate the locations of the intake and exhaust valves and when to open and close them.
With this information, the engine control system can precisely adjust the fuel injection time and charge air. This improves engine performance and fuel consumption, reduces exhaust emissions, and delivers better engine power.
In addition, the arbacam sensor is used in cold starts of the engine, where it helps to achieve correct ignition timing and improve engine operation at low temperatures.
If the aracam sensor is faulty or damaged, it can lead to poor engine performance, increased fuel consumption, high exhaust emissions, and erratic engine running. Therefore, in case of any problems with the aracam sensor, it is recommended to have it checked and repaired or replaced at a specialized auto repair shop.
