Component Description
FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE SYSTEM
Based on the intake camshaft position signal that is input, the ECM judges the intake camshaft position.
INDIVIDUAL FUNCTION WITHIN THE SYSTEM
The ECM inputs the voltage change caused by the change in magnetic field generated close to the intake camshaft position sensor and the timing of the change as signal voltage.
INDIVIDUAL OPERATION
The intake camshaft position sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC. When engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change. The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change. Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.
COMPONENT LOCATION
The intake camshaft position sensor is installed to the intake camshaft rear end.
