INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand±held tester. Freeze frame records the engine conditions when
a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was
running or stopped. the engine was warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time
of the malfunction.
READ VALUE ON HAND±HELD TESTER
(a) Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and push the hand±held tester tool main switch ON.
(c) When using hand±held tester, enter the following menu: ºDIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA
LIST / ALL / ENGINE SPDº.
The engine speed can be confirmed in DATA LIST using the hand±held tester. If there are no NE sig-
nals from the crankshaft position sensor despite the engine revolving, the engine speed will be indi-
cated as zero. If voltage output of the crankshaft position sensor is insufficient, the engine speed will
be indicated as lower RPM (than the actual RPM).
1 Check resistance of crankshaft position sensor.
PREPARATION:
Disconnect the C2 crankshaft position sensor connector.
CHECK:
Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor consists of a magnet, an iron core and a pick±up coil. This sensor monitors
a timing rotor located on the camshaft and is used by the ECM to detect the camshaft angle. The camshaft
rotation synchronizes with the crankshaft rotation, and this sensor communicates the rotation of the cam-
shaft timing rotor as a pulse signal to the ECM. Based on the signal, the ECM controls fuel injection time
and ignition timing.
If there is no signal from the camshaft position sensor even though the engine is turning or the rotation of
the camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor
and sets a DTC.
