The Suzuki Swift Camshaft Sensor (commonly referred to as a camera sensor by workshops) is an essential engine component that monitors the camshaft position and sends precise timing data to the engine control unit (ECU). This information helps ensure smooth engine operation, accurate fuel injection, and optimal ignition timing.
Designed to meet OEM specifications, this sensor is ideal for replacement during engine repairs or routine maintenance to restore proper engine performance.
What Does a Camshaft Sensor Do in a Suzuki Swift?
The camshaft sensor detects the exact position and rotational speed of the camshaft and relays this data to the ECU.
It allows the ECU to:
-
Synchronise fuel injection timing
-
Control ignition timing accurately
-
Maintain smooth engine operation
Without a properly functioning camshaft sensor, the engine may struggle to run efficiently or fail to start.
