Volkswagen Owners Club Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi It is probably an inductive sensor and won't put out any signal until it is in motion....is the cambelt intact or is it broken? If the cam is not turning then there won't be a signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalin90 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 it's about the camshaft sensor I measured pin 1 I gave 5v 2 the same and 3 I don't have a signal on it but I moved the device on hm and I gave a signal then why does an error appear on the tester that it's the sensor?

Volkswagen Owners Club Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 If it is a 3 pin sensor then it is a digital sensor (active) and requires voltage to function If it has 2 pins then it is inductive (passive sensor) which does not need a voltage to function The engine requires moving components to wave past the sensor to create a signal and if the moving component is not to par then it won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
