Camshaft position (hall sender) sensor. Porsche 971 Panamera / 9YA Cayenne / 95B Macan

PAE907601/1

Product Information

The Camshaft Position Sensor plays a vital role in monitoring the precise timing and position of each camshaft. This information is sent to the engine control module (ECM), which also relies on signals from sensors such as the crankshaft position sensor and knock sensors. Using these inputs, the ECM adjusts ignition timing and fuel injection—advancing or retarding timing based on driving conditions like heavy load or changes in air pressure.

When a camshaft position sensor begins to fail, it can trigger a check engine light and, in severe cases, may force the vehicle into limp mode to protect the engine.

Engine Camshaft Position Sensor Function

The camshaft position sensor—often called the CMP sensor—provides real-time camshaft position data to the ECU. This feedback is essential for optimizing ignition timing and ensuring smooth, efficient engine operation. A faulty sensor can lead to significant drivability issues such as hesitation, stumbling, loss of power, or even hard-starting and no-start situations.

Symptoms of a Failing Camshaft Position Sensor

• Check Engine Light (CEL)

A malfunctioning sensor often triggers diagnostic trouble codes related to camshaft timing.

• Extended Crank or No-Start

Without accurate timing feedback, the engine may struggle to start or fail to start entirely.

• Poor Drivability

Hesitation, stumbling on acceleration, and reduced engine power are common signs of a failing CMP sensor.

Product Information

Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor

The OE Match Engine Crankshaft Position Sensor is a critical component responsible for monitoring the position and rotational speed of the crankshaft. This data is sent directly to the engine control unit (ECU), allowing it to precisely manage fuel injection, ignition timing, and other essential engine functions. Without accurate crankshaft information, the ECU cannot properly control spark or fuel timing, leading to poor performance—or preventing the engine from running altogether.

Crankshaft position sensors typically use either magnetic or Hall-effect technology. Magnetic sensors generate a signal with a coil and magnet as the engine rotates, while Hall-effect sensors rely on a semiconductor that detects changes in magnetic fields. These sensors are commonly located near the crankshaft pulley/harmonic balancer or by the flywheel, depending on the engine design. They read notches or teeth on a reluctor (tone wheel) to create a signal the ECU can interpret.

Over time, heat, vibration, and contamination from oil, dirt, or metal debris can compromise the sensor’s internal circuitry, leading to inaccurate or lost signals. When the sensor begins to fail, drivability issues often follow—including stalling, rough idle, misfires, or a complete no-start condition.

Symptoms of a Failing Crankshaft Position Sensor

• No-Start Condition

If the ECU does not receive a valid RPM signal from the sensor, the engine cannot start.

• Stalling When Warm

A failing sensor often causes the engine to stall when coming to a stop once it reaches operating temperature.

• Erratic or Dead Tachometer

Some older vehicles rely on the crankshaft sensor for tachometer readings. Strange tach behavior combined with running issues may point to CPS failure.

• Diagnostic Trouble Code P0335

A failing internal circuit may trigger code P0335, although not all faulty sensors will cause a check engine light.

• Poor Performance at Certain RPMs

Intermittent or out-of-range signals can cause timing drift, leading to performance issues—often more noticeable at high RPM or idle.

• Misfires Across Multiple Cylinders

Because the CPS affects overall ignition and fuel timing, failure can lead to misfires across all cylinders, unlike coil or injector failures that typically affect just one.

About Speed / Reference / Knock Sensors

Speed, Reference & Knock Sensors – Precision Monitoring for Porsche Engine Performance

Speed, reference, and knock sensors are crucial components in your Porsche’s engine management system. They work together to provide the engine control unit (ECU) with accurate data about crankshaft position, engine speed, and vibration — allowing the system to adjust timing, fueling, and ignition for maximum performance and protection.

At Design911, we supply a comprehensive selection of genuine and high-quality sensors for all Porsche Models, including 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera. Each sensor is engineered for precise signal output, reliability, and durability, ensuring consistent performance and optimal engine operation.

What Do Speed, Reference & Knock Sensors Do?

These sensors play distinct yet complementary roles in your Porsche’s electronic control system:

Speed Sensors: Measure rotational speed of the wheels or crankshaft to optimise traction, stability, and engine timing.
Reference Sensors: Provide accurate engine position data to control ignition timing and fuel injection.
Knock Sensors: Detect engine detonation (pinging) and send signals to the ECU to adjust ignition timing, preventing engine damage.

Together, they ensure your Porsche runs smoothly, efficiently, and safely under all driving conditions.

Why Do These Sensors Fail?

Due to exposure to heat, vibration, and contamination, these sensors can degrade over time. Common causes of failure include:

Heat damage from proximity to engine or exhaust components.
Wiring corrosion or connector oxidation reducing signal accuracy.
Mechanical wear on sensor tips or mounting points.
Contamination from oil, dirt, or debris interfering with readings.
Electrical interference or internal circuitry failure.

Typical symptoms of sensor failure include poor acceleration, engine misfires, erratic idle, loss of power, increased fuel consumption, or a check engine light.

Why Replace Faulty Sensors?

A failing sensor can lead to poor performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and even engine damage if left unchecked. Replacing worn or damaged sensors ensures the ECU receives accurate data, maintaining safe and efficient operation.

Benefits of replacement include:

Restored ignition timing and fuel efficiency.
Improved throttle response and smooth acceleration.
Protection against detonation and engine wear.
Reliable performance with manufacturer-quality precision.

All sensors in our range are designed with high-quality materials, advanced shielding, and precision calibration to deliver consistent readings and long-term reliability in demanding conditions.
