Help thread: forum diagnostic case cam sensor code appears after crank no start
I am trying to build a sane checklist for forum diagnostic case cam sensor code appears after crank no start before I start buying parts I may not need. I can read codes with a basic scanner, but I do not fully trust the tool yet. Should I confirm voltage, grounds, and connector condition before chasing the code?

5 repliesFor forum diagnostic case cam sensor code appears after crank no start, I would not start by clearing codes. Photograph the code, check battery voltage at rest and while cranking, then inspect the connector related to the system. A weak supply can make a scanner sound more dramatic than the bike really is.
Also check whether anything was changed recently. The last hands near the bike are often the first suspect, even when those hands are our own. That is how I would approach forum diagnostic case cam sensor code appears after crank no start before spending money.
