Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR AND SIGNAL
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP signal to the PCM. The PCM uses this signal as a "sync pulse" to trigger the injectors in the
proper sequence. The PCM uses the CMP signal to indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power stroke. This allows the PCM to calculate
true sequential fuel injection (SFI) mode of operation. If the PCM detects an incorrect CMP signal while the engine is running, DTC P0341 will
set. If the CMP signal is lost while the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on
the last fuel injection pulse. and the engine will continue to run. As long as the fault is present, the engine can be restarted. It will run in the
calculated sequential mode with a 1-in-6 chance of the injector sequence being correct.
Refer to DTC P0341 for further information.
