Default Cam sensor question.
Is there any way to check the cam sensor and make sure it's good with a multimeter?

I looked in the book but I can't find anything for the cam sensor.
Found plenty for the ignition module but nothing for the cam sensor.

Ok I thought there was another test in the book but there's only these two. I expect you already saw and did these but if not hope this helps

Yeah I saw those.
I was hoping for a resistance test like the one for the ignition module but I guess there isn't one.

Thanks

Not yet as I was looking for a direct test for the cam sensor.
That is an indirect test but worth doing I grant you.

Any luck? Can these things fail partially or at different RPMs or are they just working or dead and no start/spark?
