2001 kia spectra has check engine code camshaft position sensor high input

Question

2001 Kia spectra started losing power finally Check engine came on code said camshaft position sensor high input so I replaced the camshaft sensor but it didn't work, light went off then came back on still runs bad. Thought maybe the new sensor was faulty so I exchanged it and still didn't work. Someone told me to try the crank shaft sensor so I tried that too still not working. ???

Answer 1

Camshaft sensor high input , means the ECM does not see the camshaft sensor signal..either it is a poor connection or a open connection of the sensor. This is more of a open connection , this would not be the CKP (crankshaft position sensor) the vehicle would not even start or it would of coded cam and crankshaft correlation code. This code is more of a wiring issue
