Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor

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

CMP sensor is located inside distributor and is made up of a Hall Effect device (sync signal generator) and a rotating pulse ring (shutter) on distributor shaft. This sensor reads slots in cam timing sprocket. PCM uses this information along with information from Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor to determine if fuel injectors and ignition coils are properly sequenced for correct cylinders.
