CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION
NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in these sentences express the temperature of the sensors themselves. "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:
Cold: 835 - 1,400 Ohms
Hot: 1,060 - 1,645 Ohms
If the resistance is not as specified, replace the camshaft position sensor.
3. RECONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR
