2002 JEEP LIBERTY Camshaft position

DESCRIPTION-3.7L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 3.7L
6±cylinder engine is bolted to the right-front side of
the right cylinder head (Fig. 6).
OPERATION
OPERATION - 2.4L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) sensor con-
tains a hall effect device referred to as a sync signal
generator. A rotating target wheel (tonewheel) for the
CMP is located behind the exhaust valve-camshaft
drive gear (Fig. 7). The target wheel is equipped with
a cutout (notch) around 180 degrees of the wheel.
The CMP detects this cutout every 180 degrees of
camshaft gear rotation. Its signal is used in conjunc-
tion with the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) to
differentiate between fuel injection and spark events.
It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with
their respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the target wheel cutout
enters the tip of the CMP, the interruption of mag-
netic field causes the voltage to switch high, result-
ing in a sync signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the target wheel cutout
leaves the tip of the CMP, the change of the magnetic
field causes the sync signal voltage to switch low to 0
volts.
OPERATION - 3.7L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) sensor con-
tains a hall effect device referred to as a sync signal
generator. A rotating target wheel (tonewheel) for the
CMP is located at the front of the camshaft for the
right cylinder head (Fig. 8). This sync signal genera-
tor detects notches located on a tonewheel. As the
tonewheel rotates, the notches pass through the sync
signal generator. The signal from the CMP sensor is
used in conjunction with the Crankshaft Position
Sensor (CKP) to differentiate between fuel injection
and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the
fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the tonewheel notch
enters the tip of the CMP, the interruption of mag-
netic field causes the voltage to switch high, result-
ing in a sync signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the tonewheel notch
leaves then tip of the CMP, the change of the mag-
netic field causes the sync signal voltage to switch
low to 0 volts.

cylinders 1 and 4, and coil number two fires cylinders
2 and 3.
The Auto Shutdown (ASD) relay provides battery
voltage to the ignition coil. The PCM provides a
ground contact (circuit) for energizing the coil(s). The
PCM will de-energize the ASD relay if it does not
receive the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft
position sensor inputs.
Base ignition timing is not adjustable.By con-
trolling the coil ground circuit, the PCM is able to set
the base timing and adjust the ignition timing
advance. This is done to meet changing engine oper-
ating conditions.
The ignition coil is not oil filled. The windings are
embedded in an epoxy compound. This provides heat
and vibration resistance that allows the ignition coil
to be mounted on the engine.
Spark plug cables (secondary wires or cables) are
used with the 2.4L engine.
3.7L
Battery voltage is supplied to the 6 ignition coils
from the ASD relay. The Powertrain Control Module
(PCM) opens and closes each ignition coil ground cir-
cuit at a determined time for ignition coil operation.
Base ignition timing is not adjustable.By con-
trolling the coil ground circuit, the PCM is able to set
the base timing and adjust the ignition timing
advance. This is done to meet changing engine oper-
ating conditions.
The ignition coil is not oil filled. The windings are
embedded in an epoxy compound. This provides heat
and vibration resistance that allows the ignition coil
to be mounted on the engine.
Because of coil design, spark plug cables (second-
ary cables) are not used with the 3.7L engine.
REMOVAL
2.4L
(1) Disconnect electrical connector at rear of coil.
(2) Remove all secondary cables from coil.
(3) Remove 4 coil mounting bolts (Fig. 17).
(4) Remove coil from vehicle.
3.7L
An individual ignition coil is used for each spark
plug (Fig. 19). The coil fits into machined holes in the
cylinder head. A mounting stud/nut secures each coil
to the top of the intake manifold (Fig. 18). The bot-
tom of the coil is equipped with a rubber boot to seal
the spark plug to the coil. Inside each rubber boot is
a spring. The spring is used for a mechanical contact
between the coil and the top of the spark plug. These
rubber boots and springs are a permanent part of the
coil and are not serviced separately. An o-ring (Fig.19) is used to seal the coil at the opening into the cyl-
inder head.
(1) Depending on which coil is being removed, the
throttle body air intake tube or intake box may need
to be removed to gain access to coil.
(2) Disconnect electrical connector from coil by
pushing downward on release lock on top of connec-
tor and pull connector from coil.
