Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance Bank 2
On V engines each cylinder head has its camshaft and sensor. The bank 2 one tells the ECU the position of the second head.
What the car has detected
The bank 2 sensor signal does not come when the ECU expects it: sensor, wiring or timing out.
The car may be slow to start or lack power. If the chain rattles at start-up, the timing may be damaged: have it checked soon.
Symptoms
- Engine warning light on
- Long or hard starting
Possible causes
- Failed camshaft sensor
- Broken or shorted wire, or a loose or corroded connector
- Timing out
Checks for the garage
- Check the sensor wiring and connector
- Check the timing
Next step
Ask for the bank 2 sensor, its wiring and the timing to be checked.
Go to a garage soon. Checking the timing needs garage tools.
