Name: Cam Angle Sensor for Land Rover Defender L316 L317 TD4 Puma 2.2L 2.4L DT224 DT244
Brand: Aftermarket OEM Replacement
SKU: CSCA432-LandRover
Price: 78.45 AUD
Availability: InStock

BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* cam angle sensor to suit Land Rover Defender L316 and L317 TD4 Puma diesel.

The Land Rover Defender TD4 Puma uses the PSA/Ford 2.4L DT244 and 2.2L DT224 diesel engines shared with Ford Transit. A cam sensor failure on the Puma engine typically triggers P0340 or P0345 and can cause the Defender to crank without starting - a common failure on high-mileage Puma Defenders particularly after heat cycling. This is a direct replacement verified for both the DT224 and DT244 Puma variants. Express delivery Victoria and Australia-wide.

TO SUIT

Land Rover Defender L316 and L317 TD4 Puma 2.4L DT244 diesel (October 2006 to February 2016) and 2.2L DT224 diesel (August 2011 to February 2016). Covers Station Wagon, Pickup, Cabrio, and Platform/Chassis body styles. Full vehicle list below.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The Land Rover Defender Puma uses the Ford-derived DT244 2.4L and DT224 2.2L diesel units - the same engine family found in Transit VM and VO applications. The camshaft position sensor on the Puma provides cam phase data to the ECM for injection control. Defender Pumas are known to develop intermittent no-start faults related to CMP sensor signal degradation, particularly on vehicles with over 150,000km where the sensor wiring has seen heat cycling stress.

This replacement is independently verified against TecDoc for both the DT224 and DT244 Puma variants. Direct connector match with no wiring modification needed. Specialist sensor retailer stocked in Melbourne with thousands of orders shipped Australia-wide.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

P0340 or P0345 fault codes (camshaft position sensor circuit)
Defender Puma cranks but won't start - especially when cold
Intermittent no-start that clears after the engine cools
Rough idle or hunting at operating temperature
Stalling in low-speed off-road conditions
Fault light with loss of engine power or limp mode

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.
