Construction

•  Installed on the cylinder head cover.

•  Consists of an IC with a giant magneto resistive (GMR) element and an integrated signal processing circuit, and a magnet. Signal reliability has been improved with the adoption of the GMR element resulting in the signal amplitude being wider compared to the hall element.

Operation

•  Signal detection uses the special characteristics of GMR to change the electrical resistance corresponding to the magnetic field.
•  The size of the magnetic field detected by the GMR element is changed into short waves at the signal processing circuit, and then input to the PCM as a sensor output signal.
•  Four pulses per one camshaft rotation are detected by a wide projection and a narrow projection installed on the intake side camshaft.
