Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor




The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is a hall effect sensor which is triggered by a magnet pressed into the camshaft sprocket. The CMP sensor provides a signal pulse once every camshaft revolution, Known as the CMP sensor signal. The IC module uses this signal to identity the position of the #1 cylinder at top dead center.
