Coil on plug (COP) ignition applications use the CMP sensor signal to select the correct ignition coil to fire.

Inline engines with 2 camshafts and with VCT are equipped with 2 CMP sensors. The second sensor identifies the exhaust camshaft position.

The 2 sensor system on inline engines use the following CMP sensor signal circuit names:
