Advanced Diagnostics - DTC P0369: Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit Intermittent Interruption






General Description
The camshaft position (CMP) sensor consists of a rotor and a semiconductor that detects rotor position. When the rotor turns after starting the engine, the changes of magnetic flux in the semiconductor are converted into pulsing signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). The CMP sensor detects the top dead center of each cylinder for fuel injection timing. If CMP sensor pulsing signals are detected an abnormal number of times due to noise, the PCM detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Malfunction Threshold
Other than 30 times of CMP pulses are detected during two cycles of CKP. This condition has been detected at least 10 times.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for setting the DTC
When a malfunction is detected, the MIL comes on and a Pending DTC, a Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data are stored in the PCM memory.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
