Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR


Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor:






The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is a variable reluctance sensor, which will respond to a rotating trigger protruding from the camshaft. The trigger is a single 9.525 mm diameter peg approximately 18 camshaft degrees wide, projecting 3-5 mm from the camshaft. The sensor will produce a sine wave in response to the peg as it passes the sensor. The sensor output is required to determine camshaft position.
