Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
SOHC 12 Valve Engine
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
<SOHC-12 Valve Engine>
OPERATION
-
The camshaft position sensor functions to detect the top dead center position of the No. 1 cylinder and to convert those data to pulse signals
that are input to the engine control module. The engine control module, based upon those signals, calculates the sequence of fuel injection.
-
The power for the camshaft position sensor is supplied from the MFI relay and is grounded to the vehicle body. The camshaft position sensor,
by intermitting the flow (to ground) of the 5 V voltage applied from the engine control module, produces pulse signals.
