Exhaust camshaft sensor: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. 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).
