Camshaft Position Sensor 2 -G163-, CHECKING
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Audi Q7, 2009 Audi Q7, 2008 Audi Q7, and 2007 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
General Description
Using the signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor 2 -G163-, the precise position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft is determined very quickly when the engine is started. Used in combination with the signal from the Engine Speed Sensor -G28-, the signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor 2 -G163- detects which cylinder is at TDC. The fuel can be injected into the corresponding cylinder and ignited. In case of signal failure, the signal from the Engine Speed Sensor -G28- is used instead. Because the camshaft position and the cylinder position cannot be recognized as quickly, it may take longer to start the engine.
