Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1995 Dodge Pickup and 1995 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Sensor is located in timing cover near left side of water pump. Connect lab type oscilloscope to sensor output wire at CMP sensor connector (Tan/Yellow wire).
With CMP sensor connector connected, start or crank engine. The output voltage of a good CMP sensor should switch between about 5.0 volts to about 0.3 volt. See Fig 1 . Replace sensor as necessary.
