Inspection Procedure

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  1. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE) 
    1. Disconnect the C1 Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor connector.
    2. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2.

      Standard resistance 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      1 - 2 1,630 to 2,740 Ω at cold
      1 - 2 2,065 to 3,225 Ω at hot

      HINT:

      The terms cold and hot refer to the temperature of the sensor. Cold means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). Hot means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the C1 CMP sensor connector.

    2. Disconnect the E3 ECM connector.
    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance (Check for open) 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      G2+ (C1-1) - G2+ (E3-26) Below 1 Ω
      NE- (C1-2) - NE- (E3-34) Below 1 Ω

      Standard resistance (Check for short) 

      TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      G2+ (C1-1) or G2+ (E3-26) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      NE- (C1-2) or NE- (E3-34) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG : REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  3. CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR) 
    1. Check the CMP sensor installation.

      OK: Sensor is installed correctly. 

    NG : SECURELY REINSTALL SENSOR

    OK : GO TO NEXT STEP 

  4. CHECK CAMSHAFT (TEETH OF PLATE) 
    1. Check the teeth of the camshaft.

      OK: Camshaft teeth do not have any cracks or deformation. 

    NG : REPLACE CAMSHAFT 

    OK : REPLACE ECM
