Camshaft Position Sensor: Component Tests and General Diagnostics
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
1. Remove the CMP sensor. (See CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)
2. Make sure that the CMP sensor is free of any metallic shavings or particles.
-
If metallic shavings or particles are found on the sensor, clean them off.

-
(+) lead: PCM terminal 3V
-
(-) lead: PCM terminal 4A
4. Start the engine.
5. Monitor RPM PID.
6. Inspect wave profile when idling engine.
-
If wave profile or voltage are out of specifications, carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection"
