Camshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in the following sentences express the temperature of the sensor itself.
"Cold" is from -10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and
"Hot" is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).


1. DISCONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR.





2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance:
Cold: 835 - 1,400 Ohms
Hot: 1,060 - 1,645 Ohms


- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the camshaft position sensor.
3. RECONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR.
