Just changed cam shaft sensor on my 2.0ltr Mig and the ECU light is still on. It is still limiting revs to 3600ish ie safety mode.
Any ideas welcome.
-
not sure if you need code reader to reset it,when i changed mi maf sensor the fault was still there till id reset the light
-
If the light is still on you still have a fault.
You could do with getting the codes read with a code reader to see what it's complaining about.

I am assuming you `clipped it for codes prior to cam sensor fitting.

If the light is still on then the ECU is still receiving a live
fault.
Do a Paperclip Test and see what's bothering it.

Will give the clip test a try and get back soon.

Code No :- 0340
Help with code please!

Cam sensor. Did you replace with genuine. If so re-check cabling and connections. When cam sensor is replaced successfully EML will automatically extinguish
-
It has been replaced with the GM modified one. This had been fitted prior to my owning the car. Have fitted the new cable that came with the replacement sensor and soildered the wires on to the same positions as before as the colour codes on the wires do not match for what ever reason!
-
IIRC the old to new type cam sensor conversion on the X20XEV had, from memory an extra wire in the cable, which you need to earth. :-/
-
You may just be correct in your assumpsion as I did notice the other wire but did ignore it. I will now go and connect said wire to ground+

Just earthed it up ----- no response code still reading 0340.
Sensor bought from ebay 200360144426 Trusting that this is a reprutable source.

Nope. Gotta go genuine.

Indeed, even motorfactors sell stuff as 'geniune' when its not. Get yourself to a Vx dealer and get one :y
I changed my cam sensor back in 2006 for geniune, had zero issues since :)

I've just had exactly the same problem on mine.. and fixed it today.
You will need a multimeter!!
Here are the autodata references I used. they may be of some help to you:

I measured the resistances of the sensor itself, then plugged it back in and measured the resistances at the ecu end (that diagram above shows you which pins they are connected to on the ecu) and found that one of the wires was reading a high resistance. I replaced this and now my miggy is running sweet :) Mine too was fitted with a modified cps.
You will find that your pattern part cps reads high on the resistances most likely as well. Timing belt tension has also been known to throw up this code aparently.
Hope the above is of some help for you

You mean you replaced a wire from the cam sensor to the ecu? Was it a bigger wire[mm/sq] Did you remove the ECU to access the socket?
-
To tell you the truth, my resistance is getting low, it's fffffking ffffffrezzing out side will continue tomorrow.
If there is any other peoples would like to add there threepence am am all eyes and ears to sugestions.
Oh and a BIG thank you to all that have replied it has been most helpfull. I know thats what were here for, but thanks again.
-
yeah. I Unplugged both the ecu, and the cam position sensor. I Used the diargam I posted earlier about the pins on the ecu plug, and measured the resistance between the ecu plug, and the cps plug at the relevent pins. One wire was showing high resistance, so I snipped the wire from the back of the ecu plug, and ran a new one to the cam positi0on sensor. At present it is not shielded, it is just speaker wire in all honesty, but I will replace the whole lot once I find out where I can get shielded wire from. gonna hit maplins I think...

Hum!
