Exhaust camshaft sensor: Notes
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 exhaust camshaft sensor is attached to the cylinder head cover.
The exhaust camshaft sensor detects the position of the exhaust camshaft with the help of an increment wheel (camshaft sensor wheel) attached to the camshaft. The exhaust camshaft sensor is required for the feedback signal to adjust the exhaust camshaft (VANOS).
