Will A Cam Sensor Stop A Car From Starting

In the event of a car emergency, you may need to quickly get your vehicle started in order to get to safety. Unfortunately, there have been times when drivers have been unsuccessful in starting their cars due to issues with their key fobs. Now, thanks to a newcam sensor that’s being marketed as a car security device, this problem may soon be a thing of the past.

What is a Cam Sensor?

A cam sensor is a device that is installed on some cars in order to prevent the car from starting. The cam sensor is designed to detect when the car has been pushed too hard and has started to roll away. Once this occurs, the car will not start.

How Does a Cam Sensor Work?

The cam sensor is a small electronic device that resides on the engine block near the crankshaft. It detects when the engine is turned over and sends a signal to the starter motor. When the engine starts, the cam sensor sends a signal to the battery to turn it on.

How to Disable a Cam Sensor

If you’re having trouble starting your car, there’s a good chance that either the battery or the starter are not working. In this case, you’ll need to disable the cam sensor in order to get the car running again.

To disable a cam sensor, first remove the screws that hold it in place. Once it’s free, disconnect the wiring harnesses and/or connectors. Next, use a flathead screwdriver to pop off the cover.Inside you’ll find two coils, each of which needs to be disconnected in order to disable the sensor. Once they’re disconnected, use a jumper wire to connect one coil to ground (the metal frame of your car), and connect the other coil to one of the engine’s spark plugs. Finally, replace the cover and screws.

Conclusion

In this article, we will be discussing cam sensors and whether or not they can actually stop a car from starting. A lot of people are skeptical about the effectiveness of cam sensors, but in the end the verdict is still out. So far, there have been very few cases where a cam sensor has successfully prevented a car from starting. However, this does not mean that it cannot work – it’s just that so far there haven’t been any documented cases of such happening. If you’re concerned about this issue and want to take extra precautions then by all means do so. But overall, I believe that cam sensors are only an occasional security measure and should not be relied upon as your sole means of preventing theft or accidental starting in your vehicle
