  1. CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC 
    1. Turn the ignition on.
    2. With the scan tool, read DTCs. Copy DTC and Freeze Frame information.
    3. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature.
      WARNING:

      When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.

      NOTE:

      Attempt to operate the vehicle under conditions similar to which the DTC was set.

      NOTE:

      It may be necessary to test drive the vehicle within the DTC monitoring conditions in order for this DTC to set.

    4. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Yes 

      • Go To  3

      No 

      • Go To  6
  3. CHECK THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/HIGH RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is there continuity between the CMP Sensor Signal circuit and the (F856) 5-Volt Supply circuit?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  5
  5. CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 
    1. Inspect the Camshaft tone wheel for damage in accordance with the Service Information. If a problem is found repair as necessary. Refer to CAMSHAFT, ENGINE, REMOVAL . The "Clear Misfire TLC" Procedure  must be performed every time there has been a repair/replacement made to a CMP Sensor and/or CKP sensor, flywheel, valvetrain, timing chain or gears. Failure to do so can cause a misfire fault to set. With the scan tool, perform the "Cam/Crank Relearn" Procedure.

      Repair 

      • Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the CMP Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace the Camshaft Position Sensor if no problems were found with the connectors. Refer to SENSOR, CAMSHAFT POSITION, REMOVAL . The "Clear Misfire TLC" Procedure  must be performed every time there has been a repair/replacement made to a CMP Sensor and/or CKP Sensor, flywheel, valvetrain, timing chain or gears. Failure to do so can cause a misfire fault to set. With the scan tool, perform the "Cam/Crank Relearn" Procedure.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST, 16V Turbo .
  6. CHECK THE CMP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    3. Turn the ignition on.
    4. Measure the voltage between ground and the CMP Sensor Signal circuit at the CMP Sensor harness connector.

      Is there any voltage present?

      Yes 

      No 

      • Go To  7
  7. CHECK THE CMP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR AN OPEN/EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Measure the resistance of the CMP Sensor Signal circuit between the CMP Sensor harness connector and the PCM C2 harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 3.0 Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Go To  8

      No 

  8. CHECK THE CMP SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Check for continuity between ground and the CMP Sensor Signal circuit at the CMP Sensor harness connector.

      Is there continuity between ground and the CMP Sensor Signal circuit?

      Yes 

      • Go To  9

      No 

  9. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) 
    1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the related Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
    2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
    3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the related Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module connectors.
