Camshaft Position Sensor: MR2
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 11 other vehicles, including the 2003 Toyota Tacoma, 2003 Toyota RAV4, 2003 Toyota Prius, 2003 Toyota Matrix, and 2003 Toyota MR2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Camshaft position sensor may also be referred to Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor. Camshaft position sensor is located just above intake manifold on cylinder head, at flywheel end of engine. See Figure.
- Manufacturer recommends removing camshaft position sensor from cylinder head before checking the resistance. Remove camshaft position sensor. See CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR under IGNITION SYSTEMS in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - 4-CYLINDER article.
- Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on camshaft position sensor. Ensure camshaft position sensor resistance is within specification. See CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE table. Replace camshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. Reinstall camshaft position sensor.
