Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the proper
sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. The CMP allows the PCM to calculate true
sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while the engine is running, DTC P0341 will set.
If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the last
fuel injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run. It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-4 chance of the injector sequence being
correct.
For further information, refer to DTC P0341 and DTC P0342.
