Ive been out to see a 2002 civic type R with a fault coming up after a slight bump. The car was span in the snow into a snow drift, no major damage other than tracking off a couple off degree's. However the engine managment light came on. Ive plugged it in and at first had 2 faults, one for crank sensor and one for Cam sensor bank 1. Cleared them no problem but the cam sensor keeps coming back. The car starts and drives fine other than the lack of vtec due to the fault code causing a limp mode. Ive checked and theres no visible damage to wiring, nothing that could of pulled at it during the bump etc and the sensors are in and secure.
Read a lot about this fault coming up with worn or jumped timing chains, is this likely with a bump like this? It literally nudged into the side off the road nearside front wheel first. Does anyone know how to test the sensors or is there a pick up behind the snsor that could of slipped?
