07 Bluetech - Camshaft hall sensor code
I've had a very intermittent fault code with a no signal condition from B6/1 (Camshaft Hall Sensor). The fault count in the past was 1 every 8-10k miles. Recently however the count jumped to 153 in less than 1k miles. No engine MIL, no observable drive problems.
I'd do the full diagnosis, but I have to wait for a friend with an oscilloscope.
Can someone also direct me to the right place in the EPC for this part? I can't seem to find it easily.

Thanks - I found it. Only around $28 at parts.com (which is typically fulfilled by Mercedes-Benz of Naperville in Illinois). Oddly enough, the "heavy discounter" Rock auto has the same part at around $110 for an aftermarket brand. Pays to shop around.
Was not sure if I needed the sealing rings and plug gaskets to go along with it, but my total bill was still less than $50 including Fedex shipping.
I'm slowly hoping that these incremental DIY fixes are paying for my investment of the Star Diagnosis unit. I'm pretty sure I'd be out at least $500, if I had to do this at a dealership. I'm wondering if me replacing it pre-emptively also prevented a potential no-start or future stall condition, and the resulting inconvenience and towing.
