Stand-alone contactless active sensor providing exact position of the camshaft by detecting the rotation of a ferromagnetic or magnetic encoder wheel.
Output signal is used by the Engine Management System (EMS) to determine the engine position at start and to control the VVT (Variable Valve timing) actuator.
