Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor G40 And Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 3 G300, Checking

The following procedure is used to diagnose Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor G40 and Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 3 G300 which are controlled by Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.

NOTE: Use only gold-plated when servicing the electrical harness connector terminals of the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor G40 and Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 3 G300.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.

Test requirements
- The Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 fuses OK.
- Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.
- All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.
- Vehicles with automatic transmission, shift selector lever into position "P" or "N".
- A/C switched off.
- Ground (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.
- Ignition switched off.

Procedure







- Disconnect the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor G40 electrical harness connector - 3 -.

Or







- Disconnect the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 3 G300 electrical harness connector - 1 -.
- Switch the ignition on.







- Using a Multimeter , Check the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor electrical harness connector terminals 1 to 3 for voltage.
Specified value: about 5.0 V
- Switch the ignition off.

If the specification was not obtained:

Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.
- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.
- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.







- Using a Multimeter, Check the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor electrical harness connector to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J623 electrical harness connector T60 for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ohms Max.

If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground (GND).
- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, lose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:
- Replace the faulty Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor G40 or Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 3 G300.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was not OK:
- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J623.

Final procedures
After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code.

- End of diagnosis.
