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

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?

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
