Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.
Manuals through 2025 now available!

Our trusted friends have launched a new website named LEMON, which has newer manuals. It also contains all the CHARM manuals.

LEMON is the spiritual successor to CHARM, I recommend you try it!

Component Tests and General Diagnostics

CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR INSPECTION

Resistance Inspection
1. Disconnect the CMP sensor connector.
2. Measure the resistance between CMP sensor terminals A and B using an ohmmeter.

Specification: 308-376 ohms

- If not as specified, replace the CMP sensor.
- If CMP sensor resistance is okay, but PID value or PCM terminals 85 and 86 voltages are out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

Circuit Open/Short Inspection
1. Disconnect the PCM connector.(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)




2. Connect the SST (104 Pin Breakout Box) with the PCM disconnected.
3. Tighten the connector attaching bolt.

Tightening torque: 3.0-5.4 Nm {30-56 kgf.cm, 27-48 in.lbf}




4. Inspect the following wiring harness for open or short circuit (Continuity check)

Open circuit
- If there is no continuity, the circuit is open Repair or replace the harness
- CMP sensor terminal A (harness-side) and 104 pin breakout box terminal 85
- CMP sensor terminal B (harness-side) and 104 Pin breakout box terminal 86

Short circuit
- If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted Repair or replace the harness
- CMP sensor terminal A (harness-side) and power supply
- CMP sensor terminal A (harness-side) and body ground
- CMP sensor terminal B (harness-side) and power supply
- CMP sensor terminal B (harness-side) and body ground
