Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor (Maxima)

CMP sensor detects cylinder number signal. CMP sensor, which is mounted to front cover of engine, facing camshaft, consists of a permanent magnet, core and coil. When engine is running, gap between sensor and camshaft will periodically change. Voltage signal generated in coil is sent to PCM, which detects specific cylinder.
