SEF252P
Component DescriptionNBEC0197The camshaft position sensor (PHASE) is located on the engine
front cover facing the camshaft sprocket. It detects the cylinder No.
signal.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet, core and coil.
When engine is running, the gap between the sensor and the
camshaft sprocket will periodically change. Permeability near the
sensor also changes.
Due to the permeability change, the magnetic flux near the core is
changed. Therefore, the voltage signal generated in the coil is
changed.
The ECM receives the voltage signal and detects the cylinder No.
signal.
ECM Terminals and Reference ValueNBEC0665Specification data are reference values and are measured between each terminal and ground.
CAUTION:
Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0199Malfunction is detected when
(Malfunction A)the cylinder No. signal is not sent to ECM for the
first few seconds during engine cranking,
(Malfunction B)the cylinder No. signal is not sent to ECM during
engine running,
(Malfunction C)the cylinder No. signal is not in the normal pattern
during engine running.
