Camshaft Position Sensor 2, Checking

Camshaft Position Sensor 2, Checking

The following procedure is used to diagnose Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 (G163) which is controlled by Engine Control Module (J623).

• Use only gold-plated when servicing the electrical harness connector terminals of the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 (G163).

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

• Diode test lamp

Test requirements

• The Engine Control Module (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.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.

- Remove the engine cover with air filter. Refer to appropriate service information.





- Remove the sensor connector- 1 -





Checking activation

- Connect diode test lamp between terminal 2 and terminal 1.

- Turn key on

- Operate starter for a few Sec.

- LED in test lamp must blink

- Turn key off

Checking voltage

- Disconnect the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 (G163) electrical harness connector.

- Switch the ignition on.

- Using a multimeter, Check the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (G163) 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 Engine Control Module (J623). Refer to appropriate service information.

- Using a multimeter, check the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 (G163) electrical harness connector to the Engine Control Module (J623) electrical harness connector.









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, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was OK:

- Replace Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 2 (G163).

If no malfunction is found in the wiring and voltage supply was not OK:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (J623). Refer to appropriate service information.

Assembly is performed in the reverse order of the removal, note the following:

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
