Camshaft Position Sensor (Hall Effect Sensor) - No Signal (G40) : would this cause the emissions to fail
thanks :1zhelp:

1.6 AEE engine?

its a 1300 50kw is all i know
regds

I have to admit I don’t do a lot of work on these anymore, so I wanted to check my info at work first. They don’t have a cam position sensor on the 1.3 Skoda engine, they have a crank speed sensor and wasted spark ignition. The 1.6 AEE engine has a G40 and doesn’t have a crank sensor. What was the fault code number and what are the emissions readings at idle and fast idle?

the code was 00515 hall sensor g40 no signal, the car is a 1.3 lxi plus.i havent got the paper work with me at the mo and i wont be back on till sat nigth so ill put it on then

Unfortunately I am a bit stuck for accurate fault code info on the 135 and 136 engines but certainly ETKA confirms that the car doesn’t have a cam position sensor, only a crank speed sensor which I am sure would come up as G28 but I can’t remember the name of the last customer I had in with this problem, as I could look it up if I did. I have had a few play up with this, sometimes it has been the sensor, others I have had a broken wire inside the harness leading to the sensor. Did he do the fault code read with the engine running or just with the ignition on?

he only had the ignition on , iv now sorted the problem........................................... .................. iv px it for a 54 reg golf tdi!!! what a diffrence. many thanks for your help, its very much apriceated

Carrying out a fault code read on many early systems without the engine running will automatically store a crank or cam sensor error-it is a basic error to make.

thanks ill let him know for future ref. thanks
