Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
PURPOSE/OPERATION
The camshaft position sensor is located on the left-hand camshaft support to detect the combustion cylinder at any one moment.
It is designed so that the Engine Control Module (ECM) accurately reads the number of pulses which occur when protrusions provided on the
back of the left hand camshaft-drive sprocket cross the sensor. Internal construction and the basic operating principle of the camshaft position
sensor are similar to those of the crankshaft position sensor. A total of seven protrusions (one each at two locations, two at one location and three
at one location) are arranged in four equal parts of the sprocket, as shown.
