CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION

NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in the following sentences ax- press 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 ohm


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