Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor is located on the rear cylinder bank (BANK 1) in front of the exhaust camshaft. The camshaft position sensor extends
into the rear cylinder head and is sealed with an O-ring. The camshaft position sensor is not adjustable.
As the rear cylinder bank exhaust camshaft turns, a steel pin on its drive sprocket passes over the magnetic camshaft position sensor. This creates
an "ON-OFF-ON-OFF" signal sent to the ignition control module similar to the crankshaft position sensors. The camshaft position sensor produces
one "ON-OFF" pulse for every one revolution of the camshaft or every two revolutions of the crankshaft. This allows the ignition control module
to recognize camshaft position.
