Taurus V6-182 3.0L FF (1995)
Cylinder Identification Sensor: Description and Operation
Camshaft Sensor
PURPOSE
In a Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI) system each individual fuel injector is energized just prior to the opening of its corresponding
intake valve. The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is used to identify when number 1 cylinder is on compression stroke and to generate the
Cylinder Identification (CID) signal. This CID signal allows the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to sequence the fuel injectors in the correct
order.
CONSTRUCTION
CMP is a single hall effect magnetic switch, activated by a single vane which is driven by the camshaft.
