Quick Answer: How to Reset Camshaft Position Sensor

Do you have to relearn a camshaft position sensor?

Camshaft and crankshaft position sensor replacement is often necessary on many cars due to the common results of heat and vibration. However, if the proper relearn process is not performed to account for mechanical wear and manufacturing tolerances when replaced, you may face unnecessary comebacks and complaints.

Will disconnecting battery reset crankshaft sensor?

To reset the check engine light you can disconnect the battery via the negative battery terminal and let the vehicle sit for an hour before reconnecting the battery. A failed crankshaft position sensor will generally cause the vehicle to stalls when it’s running or cause the vehicle to not start at all.
