3. Camshaft Sensor Troubleshooting & Diagnostic Guide

If your Perkins machinery engine system is exhibiting sensor-related failure, consult the diagnostic guide below:

• Fault 1: No Camshaft Signal on Machine Dashboard
  Root Cause: Failed or intermittent camshaft sensor — Engine controller receives no position trigger signal.
  Solution: Replace with new 1855-781C91 camshaft sensor and inspect connector pins.
• Fault 2: Engine Power Loss & Unstable Operation
  Root Cause: Incorrect position signal makes engine controller misjudge camshaft status.
  Solution: Install new 1855-781C91 camshaft sensor and check wiring connector.
• Fault 3: Engine System Related Fault Code
  Root Cause: Open circuit, short circuit or corroded sensor connector.
  Solution: Replace 1855-781C91 camshaft sensor and clean connector terminals; clear DTC with diagnostic scanner.
• Fault 4: Engine Hard To Start & Rough Idle
  Root Cause: Wrong position data leads controller to incorrect engine adjustment.
  Solution: Replace the 1855-781C91 camshaft sensor before pursuing expensive engine repairs.
• Fault 5: Sensor Internal Damage from Oil & Vibration
  Root Cause: Long time heavy vibration and oil pollution causes internal sensing element damage.
  Solution: Replace sensor, check oil pipeline and tighten fixing bolts properly.
