Structure and inner electrical connection
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The measuring procedure is based on Hall IC. The output signal uses a flank to show Low status and a gap to show High status. The intake camshaft sensor operates on the same principle as the crankshaft sensor. However, the camshaft sensor wheel differs fundamentally. A special mark pattern enables emergency operation in the event of failure of the crankshaft sensor. However, the resolution of the camshaft sensor signal is too imprecise to replace the crankshaft sensor during normal operation.
