The Camshaft Position Sensor in Dodge Ram 2500 vehicles is one of the important parts of a vehicle it helps the engine control module to monitor camshaft position and speed for the controlling of the fuel injectors and ignition distribution. Normally it is secured on the surface of the camshaft, although the position of the sensor may differ depending on make and model of the vehicle. The Camshaft Position Sensor works hand in hand with the crank sensor to enable the engine to properly time engine parts and especially where there are camshafts with variable valve timing mechanisms. This simply shows that a faulty sensor is capable of compromising the performance or even make the engine not start at all, making the sensor crucial for a well functioning engine.
