WIRING DIAGRAM





CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor located in the distributor consists of the signal generator (pick-up coil and magnet) and signal rotor. As the signal rotor turns, AC voltage is generated in the pick-up coil which varies in pulsatory way as shown. This pulse signal (5 pulses/revolution) is sent to ECM where it is used to calculate the engine speed and the piston position of each cylinder and that information is also used as one of the signals to control various devices.
