Camshaft Position Sensor 1 Checking

Camshaft Position Sensor 1 Checking

• Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing terminals in harness connectors of Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (G40).

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• The Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) fuses OK.

• Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.

• All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.

• Vehicles with automatic transmission, shift selector lever into position "P" or "N".

• A/C switched off.

• Ground connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.

• Ignition switched off.

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.

Start diagnosis

- Disconnect the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (G40) electrical harness connector - 1 -.





- Switch the ignition On.

- Using a multimeter, Check the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (G40) electrical harness connector terminals 1 to 3 for voltage.





Specified value: near 5.0 V

- Switch the ignition Off.

If the specification was obtained:

- Replace Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (G40).

If the specification was not obtained:

Checking wiring

If the manufacturers test box is being used. Perform the following step.

- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used. Perform the following step.

- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- Using a multimeter, Check the Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (G40) electrical harness connector to the Engine Control Module (ECM) electrical harness connector T121 for resistance.










Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

- Check the wiring connection for an open circuit, high resistance, short circuit to Battery (+) or Ground.

- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

- Perform a road test to verify repair.

If the DTC does not return:

Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

If the DTC returns, no malfunction is found in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
