Camshaft Position Sensor: Adjustments

CHECKING, ADJUSTING CLEARANCE OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CAMSHAFT SPROCKET SEGMENT

Adjusting
1. Position crankshaft to 25° CKA before ignition TDC of cylinder 1.

Measuring





2. Use a depth slide gauge to measure size "A" from the plane face of the camshaft position sensor (L5/1) at the cylinder head to the segment (arrow) on the camshaft sprocket.





NOTE: Enter size "A" in table (see calculation example below).

Calculation Examples:

3. Use depth slide gauge to measure size "B" at camshaft position sensor (L5/1) without shim from the contact surface to the position sensor.

NOTE: Enter size "B" in table (see calculation example).

4. Calculate difference "D". D is the difference between A and B (D = A - B).

NOTE: Specification "W" is 0.4 - 0.6 mm (aim for average of 0.5 mm).

5. Calculate thickness of shims "S" (S = W - D).

CAUTION: If the result for "D" is a negative value, the amount of "D" must be added to the specified value (0.5 mm) (S = W - (-D) = W + D). Otherwise, the camshaft position sensor would be damaged because of its protection. Shims (10) are available as replacement parts in 1/10 graduations from 0.1 - 1.0 mm.
