CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor consists of a magnet, an iron core and a pick-up coil. This sensor monitors
a timing rotor located on the camshaft and is used by the ECM to detect the camshaft angle. The camshaft
rotation synchronizes with the crankshaft rotation, and this sensor communicates the rotation of the cam-
shaft timing rotor as a pulse signal to the ECM. Based on the signal, the ECM controls fuel injection time
and ignition timing.
If there is no signal from the camshaft position sensor even though the engine is turning or the rotation of
the camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor
and sets a DTC.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If there are no signals from the camshaft position sensor even though the engine is turning, or if the rotation
of the camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sen-
sor.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when
a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was
running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other
data from the time when a malfunction occurred.
1 Inspect resistance of VVT sensor (See page SF-78).
NG Replace VVT sensor (See page SF-79).
OK
2 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and VVT sen-
sor.
PREPARATION:
Wire Harness Side
(a) Disconnect the VVT sensor connector.
(b) Disconnect the E5 ECM connector.
CHECK:
V16 Measure the resistance between the wire harness side connec-
V17 tors.
