How long do they normally last, geez? I still have the old one and I will bench test the sensor before I buy a new one. It looks like it has 3 pins on the connector. From my understanding, the first pin is for the 5 volts excitation, the second pin is for the ground and the third pin is the signal output. I have a adjustable DC power supply station and a digital meter that I can use for the test. Probably a 9-volt battery will do if I don't have the power supply station. Can somebody identify which pins are these on the plug? I can probably look this up on the electrical diagrams but if anybody know, let me know please. Thanks. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 02-10-2014, 08:06 PM | #2 | Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 90 | My last one lasted 143k miles. | | | 02-11-2014, 11:41 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | That's great. I think the original engine that overheated lasted 174k miles on the factory CPS, The CPS on the used engine I installed lasted about 90k miles. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 02-11-2014, 05:32 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | Ok. I dissected the cable. It has three (3) wires. Pin 1 - Red - 12V Pin 2 - Green Pin 3 - Black - ground The red is the 5-12V excitation, Green is the signal and Black as the ground wire. I cut the cable, plugged into the engine harness, turn ignition switch ON and checked wires with digital meter. I will bench test the new sensor and post results. I hate replacing parts for no reason. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 Last edited by bazar01; 07-10-2017 at 01:44 PM. | | | 02-23-2014, 01:09 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | I bought a new sensor and installed it yesterday. CEL has not come back the whole day. I will bench test the old one when I find the time. Old one still works because the car was still running great but it throws the P0340 code immediately after a reset. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 10-19-2016, 08:27 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | It's been 2 years since a new camshaft sensor. Now, I am getting P0340 again. CEL comes and goes. Within a day, CEL will turn on twice and go off the rest of the day. I have about 80k miles on the Beck Arnley. I think I will get a genuine BMW sensor this time. Anybody has the same issue with the Beck Arnley camshaft sensor? __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 11-27-2016, 01:45 PM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | Went ahead and got a BMW camshaft sensor. Quite expensive. I have been driving the car for the past two days without the P0340. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 11-28-2016, 01:42 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Greeley CO Posts: 233 | Something not quite right there, Bazar. The sensor is Hall effect, and you're on your 4th one in 265k miles. That's a failure rate far higher than any mechanical or electromechanical part on the vehicle. I would take a look at the sensor's connector on the vehicle side, maybe a loose wire. Or look elsewhere for something that mimics the P0340. You don't have anything aftermarket (that's ferrous) mounted close to the sensor, do you?

The first one I bought was the Beck. It lasted about 80k miles. Hopefully this BMW one will last longer than that. I did continuity test on the harness from the DME to the connection point under the intake with my Fluke meter. I get 12V at pin 1 coming from the engine control module relay. I have continuity from pin 21 on the DME connector to the connection point under the intake. The third pin has good ground connection. So it has to be a flaky sensor. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | 12-01-2016, 10:06 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Georgia Posts: 595 | It has been 7 days now since I put the BMW sensor. So far CEL is off. The Beck A sensor don't last as long as the OEM. The Beck gave me P0340 code 3 times a day. We'll see how long the BMW sensor lasts. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
