Camshaft position sensor monitors the camshaft position and speed to feed data to the ECM.
ECM needs this data to control the amount of fuel enters the combustion chamber.
In Mini, it determines which cylinder stroke power to the crankshaft position for delivering: Fuel Spark
A camshaft position sensor in your Mini Cooper can fail due to wear-and-tear or an accident.
The below points define the symptoms of the failed camshaft position sensor in Mini Cooper.
N O I S S I M S N TRA IFTING SH S M E L PROB
Data received by the ECM from a failing camshaft position sensor can affect the: Transmission shift solenoids Gears from shifting
Limp-home-mode in-vehicle protects the engine from damages by restricting engine speed.
O T E L UNAB T THE STAR INE ENG
In your Mini Cooper, when the camshaft position sensor fails, it will not start.
As a result, the data signal becomes weak and the ECM switches stop fuel and spark delivery.
D E T A V I T E C N I A G N E K C CHE IGHT L
Most common indicator that the camshaft position sensor is failing is a lit Check Engine light.
Ignoring the Check Engine light can lead to expensive engine or transmission repairs.
L E U F D E C U RED ILEAGE M
Inaccurate camshaft position sensor data can force excess fuel into the combustion chamber.
If too much liquid gasoline builds up in the combustion chamber, then it can cause: Engine knocking Serious damages
POORLITY I B A V DRI
A failing camshaft position sensor begins losing its ability to quickly transfer data.
Mismatched fuel delivery and ignition timing in the Mini Cooper will cause: Stall or shut off Lack of power Vehicle to sputter Accelerate poorly
When the Mini doesn’t run like it used to, the camshaft position sensor needs replacement.
If you disregard the above symptoms, then your engine will stop running.
