Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit High (Bank 2)
Camshaft position sensor A on bank 2 reads above upper plausibility — open signal or short to B+. The camshaft position sensor identifies which cylinder is on the compression stroke — without it the ECM cannot run sequential injection or coil-on-plug ignition correctly.
Affected components
- Camshaft position sensor
Common causes
- High likelihood: Open signal line
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Power loss especially in mid-rpm range
- Possible rough idle or stalling
- Increased fuel consumption
