Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORCamshaft Position (CMP) Sensor:
The camshaft position sensor (Figure 57) used by COP Integrated EI system is a magnetic transducer mounted on the engine front cover adjacent to the camshaft. By monitoring a target on the camshaft sprocket, the CMP sensor identifies cylinder one to the PCM. The COP Integrated EI system uses this information to synchronize the firing of the individual coils.
