OPERATION
  • Power is supplied to the camshaft position sensor (terminal No. 3) from the engine control relay (terminal No. 1) and is earthed to the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 88) from the camshaft position sensor (terminal No. 1).
  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the camshaft position sensor output terminal (terminal No. 2) from the engine-A/T-ECU (terminal No. 71).
FUNCTION
  • The camshaft position sensor detects the top dead center on the compression stroke of the No. 1 cylinder and inputs a pulse signal to the engine-A/T-ECU.
TROUBLE JUDGMENT
Check Condition
  • Engine speed is 50 r/min or higher.
Judgment Criterion
  • Camshaft position sensor output voltage has not been changed (no pulse signal is has been input) for 2 seconds.
PROBABLE CAUSE
  • Failed camshaft position sensor
  • Open/short circuit in camshaft position sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-A/T-ECU
