Sebring Sedan V6-2.7L VIN R (2004)
Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
Cam Sensor/EGR Valve/PCV Valve
CAM Sensor Location 2.7L
The camshaft position sensor for the 4 cylinder engine is mounted on the end of the cylinder head or the front of the cylinder head on 2.7L.
The CMP sensor contains a hall effect device that provide cylinder identification to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The sensor generates pulses
as groups of notches on the camshaft sprocket or camshaft target magnet pass underneath it. The PCM keeps track of crankshaft rotation and identifies
each cylinder by the pulses generated by the notches on the camshaft sprocket.
When metal aligns with the sensor, voltage goes low (less than 0.3 volt). When a notch aligns with the sensor, voltage spikes high (5.0 volts). As a group
of notches pass under the sensor, the voltage switches from low (metal) to high (notch) then back to low. The number of notches determine the amount of
pulses. If available, an oscilloscope or DRBIII(R) PEP Module can display the square wave patterns of each timing event.
