Camshaft position sensor testing system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A camshaft position sensor testing system, comprising:
- a test sleeve forming a cavity;
a test bar rotationally mounted on the test sleeve;
a controller having a signal indicator and a reference voltage supply, where the signal indicator connects to a camshaft position sensor when the camshaft position sensor is positioned in the cavity, and where the reference voltage supply provides a reference voltage to the camshaft position sensor when the camshaft position sensor is positioned in the cavity, where the camshaft position sensor changes a signal in response to a disruption in a magnetic field, and where the signal indicator intermittently operates in response to the signal; and
a main voltage supply connected to signal connector, where the main voltage supply provides a supply voltage to the signal connector.

Abstract
A camshaft testing system has a test sleeve, a controller, and main voltage supply. The camshaft position sensor is placed into the test sleeve. The controller activates the camshaft position sensor. The test sleeve has a test bar, which moves across the camshaft position sensor. The movement of the test bar creates a magnetic field disruption. An indication is made as to whether the camshaft position sensor can sense the magnetic field disruption. A signal indicator on the controller emits at least one flash of light if the camshaft position sensor senses the magnetic field disruption.
