Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, Checking
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S5, 2016 Audi S5, 2016 Audi S4, 2015 Audi S5, and 2015 Audi S4. 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 -G40-, 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 -G40- allows the Engine Control Module -J623- to detect which cylinder is at TDC. The fuel can be injected into the corresponding cylinder and ignited.
