CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
INSPECTION
NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in the following sentences express the temperature of the sensor itself. "Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°
F) and "Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).
1. DISCONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR
2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter. measure the resistance between terminals.
Resistance:
ND:
Cold: 835 - 1,400 ohms
Hot: 1,060 - 1,645 ohms
Wabash:
Cold: 1,690 - 2,560 ohms
Hot: 2,145 - 3,010 ohms
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the camshaft position sensor.
3. RECONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR
