SUBJECT
N12 and N14 Camshaft Sensor Fault Codes 2968, 296B, 2982, 2983
MODEL
R55, R56, and R57 with the N12 and N14 engines produced up to 5/31/2009
SITUATION
The Service Engine Soon (MIL) lamp is on, with any of the following camshaft sensor fault codes stored in the DME.
^ 2968 or 296B, signal plausibility
^ 2982 or 2983, short circuit
CAUSE
These faults can be caused by a faulty camshaft sensor or poor electrical connection.
The sensor may be damaged if the connector is loose, which could allow the blue sealing ring to be pushed out. If this occurs, the connector is no longer
sealed against moisture.
CORRECTION
If camshaft sensor faults are stored, work though all corresponding test plans, using the latest version of ISTA.
If any of the faults 2968, 296B, 2982, or 2983 are stored, follow the procedure below:
^ Replace the camshaft sensor (refer to the EPC) and the camshaft connector using P/N 12 52 7 590 939.
After the repairs are completed, perform a function check and clear the fault memory entries.
