I just checked and I am correct, the sensor is a hall effect sensor. I did not find any specific diagnostics for it.

I did not read all the previous posts on this issue, but have you checked the codes? I would be very surprised if there isn't a code for a failed cam position sensor. You will need a code reader that can read the manufacturer specific codes.

For the sensor I would expect two pins. Try to measure the resistance between the pins. If it is zero it is definitely defective. It could also be something as simple as a badly seated plug.
