I am getting fault code 42 (Cam Position Sensor) on my 1999 Dyna, its always had the engine light coming on intermittently.

I been fixing Harleys for decades but engine check lights are fairly new to me and I would like to hear from anyone who has had the CPM go sick on them and what the symptoms were....remember, I have not ridden this bike without the sensor being crook.

I have a new on on order but am interested to know what symptoms the bike should be showing.

 

This was about all I could find on it. I do not recall ever having to replace one or have problems with any of my bikes that has it.

I hope this helps some.

However, I did find that if not repaired/replaced it could get the stator.

 

Thanks for that, I replaced it today and it runs better. No more pinking and better lowdown power....poun the back wheel pulling out of an intersection but it was in the middle of a thunderstorm at night, so maybe I'll try it in the day light on dry roads :-)

 

Went for a ride totday and its a diffeernt bike......smoother and better lowdown grunt.

 

Great, glad to hear it.
