P2616 Meaning
The camshaft position sensor is an electronic device used in an engine to record the speed at which the camshaft rotates. This information is used by the Engine Control Module (ECM) to control ignition and fuel injection. The camshaft position sensor detects the retraction of the camshaft (intake) to identify a particular cylinder. The camshaft position sensor detects the piston position. The sensor system consists of a rotating part, typically a disk, as well as a static part, the actual sensor.
