Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Camshaft Position Sensor

The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is a Hall effect sensor that generates a digital frequency while windows in a target wheel pass through its magnetic
field. The frequency of the windows passing by the sensor, as well as the width of selected windows, allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to
detect engine speed and position.
