BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* pair of camshaft position sensors to suit BMW four and six cylinder petrol engines.

When one cam sensor fails the other is usually close behind. Replace both in one job and save a second visit - packed and shipped from Cranbourne VIC.

TO SUIT

Made for BMW engines that use two of these sensors - the N42 N45 and N46 in the 116i 118i 120i 316ti 318i and 320i, the N52 in the 125i 130i 323i 325i 330i and 525i, the N54 and N55 in the 135i 335i 740i and X5 X6 35i, and the N20 in the 320i 328i 520i and Z4.

FITMENT CHECK

Two sensors are supplied. Cars that only use one of these sensors, such as the M52 and M54 six, should order the single listing.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The intake and exhaust camshafts each have a sensor so the DME can set VANOS timing independently. Both sensors live in the same heat and age at the same rate.

Expect cam position or VANOS codes, uneven idle and flat spots when either sensor starts to fail.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Cam position codes P0340 P0365
VANOS timing codes P0014 P0015
Uneven idle and flat spots
Engine light with reduced power

How do I test a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor?

Use an OBD2 scanner to check for fault codes P0335 to P0338 (crankshaft) or P0340 to P0349 (camshaft). You can also test the sensor with a multimeter - inductive sensors should show resistance between 200 and 1,000 ohms, while Hall effect sensors require a live voltage test with the engine cranking. Erratic or absent RPM signal on a live data scanner is a strong indicator of sensor failure.

Can a cam or crank sensor fault cause my vehicle to go into limp mode?

Yes. A faulty crankshaft position sensor in particular can cause the ECU to lose engine speed and position data entirely, which may trigger limp mode or prevent the engine from starting. A faulty camshaft sensor on variable valve timing engines can cause the VVT system to default to a fixed position, significantly reducing power and fuel economy.

Do cam and crank sensors need to be programmed after replacement?

In most cases no - aftermarket OEM replacement sensors are direct plug-in replacements that require no programming. However some vehicles, particularly late model European makes including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, may require a crankshaft adaptation reset using a dealer-level scan tool after replacement. Check your vehicle service information before replacing the sensor.

What are the symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include intermittent stalling, engine not starting, rough idle, misfires, and a Check Engine light with codes P0335-P0338. In severe cases the engine will crank but not start as the ECU cannot determine crank position for ignition timing.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include poor performance, misfires, difficulty starting, rough idle, and fault codes P0340-P0343. Variable valve timing systems (VVT) will also be affected, causing sluggish response and increased fuel consumption.

Can I drive with a bad crankshaft position sensor?

If the sensor has failed completely the engine will not start or will stall and not restart. If it is intermittently failing, driving is dangerous - the engine can cut out without warning. Replace it immediately.

Do I need to replace both the cam and crank sensor at the same time?

Not necessarily - replace whichever has failed based on fault codes and diagnosis. However, if your vehicle has high kilometres and one has failed, it is worth considering replacing both as they are similar in age and condition.
