Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) Sensor
The single CHT sensor is located between the two
rear coil-on-plug units in the bank 2 cylinder
head. The sensor directly monitors the metal
temperature of the cylinder head. This method of
engine heat sensing is used in place of a
conventional coolant temperature sensor to
enable the fail safe cooling strategy to operate.
The use of a metal temperature sensor allows
cylinder head temperature to be measured even if
coolant has been lost unlike an ECT sensor which
would produce inaccurate temperature
indications, eg measuring steam temperature.
Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
Crankshaft position and rotational speed are
sensed from a steel timing ring keyed to the front
end of the crankshaft immediately behind the
front cover. The timing ring has 36-1 teeth, ie one
missing tooth, which are angled slightly forward
and bent at rightangles to provide a sensing area
for the inductive sensor. The sensor is positioned
in the front cover, to the side of the crankshaft
damper, at approximately 20û to the plane of the
timing ring.

Engine management sensors and actuators (but
not off engine sensors) are summarised in the
illustration on page 41 and are also described
below or in the relevant section (VVT, fuel system,
throttle, tuned manifold).
The engine management system is described in a
separate section.
