Engine Management System
Camshaft Position Sensor
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The camshaft position (CMP) sensors are magneto-
resistive element (MRE) sensors, which have digital out-
put with zero speed recognition. They show a high signal
if the camshaft position target is directly in front of the
sensor, and low if the camshaft position target is not in
front of the sensor.
There are four common sensors, one per camshaft.
Failure Modes
• Sensor open circuit
• Short circuit to vehicle battery supply or ground
• Mechanical fitting and integrity of the sensor
• Camshaft wheel tolerances/camshaft end float excessive
• Camshaft and crankshaft misalignment/valve timing error
• Camshaft wheel magnetized/residual magnetism
• Speed signal correlation with crankshaft sensor input
• Incorrect air gap between camshaft and sensor
NOTE:
If both the CKP sensor and the CMP sensor fail,
the engine will stall or not start.
Failure Symptoms
• Ignition timing reverting to the base mapping, with no cylinder correction
• VCT is disabled
