Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR
| Refer to COMPONENT INDEX . |
The camshaft is a nodular cast iron design and has a bolt on magnetic timing wheel that is magnetically encoded.
The CMP sensor is located on the front timing cover.
The CMP sensor is dual read, single element hall effect sensors mounted between the magnetic encoded timing wheels.
CAUTION:
The magnetic timing wheels must not come in contact with magnets (pickup tools, trays, etc.) or any other strong magnetic field. This will destroy the timing wheels ability to correctly relay camshaft position to the camshaft position sensor.
