Code P1554 MINI Description

The purpose of the diagnosis is to detect when the camshaft reference position is outside the designed range relative to the engine position from the crankshaft and to detect a signal which is not valid. The diagnostic strategy for inlet and exhaust camshaft is identical.
The detection of each camshaft position is done by an active hall sensor and a cam wheel, "3 asymmetric teeth". The camshaft sensor delivers 3 high and 3 low phases of different lengths per 720°CRK. The high or low pegel of the signal at the reference gap of the crankshaft signal determines the position of the engine within the combustion cycle. With that information, an engine position is calculated from the crankshaft position sensor within a range from [0 to 720]° CRK
