Camshaft Position Sensor

Camshaft Position Sensor:

The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is located within the Distributor. It's operation is very similar to the Crankshaft Position (CKP Sensor) however it provides one pulse per camshaft revolution (1x signal). This signal is not detrimental to the driveability of the vehicle. The VCM utilizes this signal in conjunction with the crankshaft position to determine which cylinders are misfiring.
