Variable Valve Timing Sensor

NOTE: Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor may also be referred to as a Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor.

One Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor is mounted in outer corner of each cylinder head, just below valve cover (oil filler cap end). Remove engine cover. Disconnect VVT sensor 2-pin connector. Measure resistance between VVT sensor terminals. Resistance should be 835-1400 ohms at 14-122°F (-10-50°C), or 1060-1645 ohms at 123-212°F (51-100°C). Replace VVT sensor if resistance is not as specified.
