SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGES

Camshaft Reference Sensor

Slot Sensed approximately 5.0 Volts
No Slot Sensed approximately 0.3 Volts [1]

[1] Wide Open Throttle (WOT) output voltage should be about 3 volts higher than idle output voltage

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor

Sensor output voltage range is 0.5 to 4.5 volts.

Output voltages between 0.5 and 1.5 volts indicate a high vacuum situation, such as idle or deceleration.

Output voltages between 1.5 and 3.0 volts indicate a medium level of vacuum such as a cruise or slight acceleration condition.

Output voltages between 3.0 and 4.5 volts indicate a low vacuum situation such as hard acceleration or a mechanical failure.

Any reading of 0 volts or over 5 volts indicates a problem.

Oxygen Sensor

Sensor output voltage range is 0 to 1.0 volts.

Output voltages below 0.5 volts indicate a lean condition.

Output voltages over 0.5 volts indicate a rich condition.

Any reading of less than 0 volts or over 1.0 volts indicates a defective sensor.


Throttle Position Sensor

@ Minimum Throttle Opening (Idle) approximately 0.5 Volts
@ Wide Open Throttle (WOT) approximately 3.5 Volts [1]

[1] Wide Open Throttle (WOT) output voltage should be about 3 volts higher than idle output voltage


REGULATED REFERENCE VOLTAGES

Camshaft Reference Sensor 9.0 Volts
Crankshaft Reference Sensor 9.0 Volts
Coolant Temperature Sensor 5.0 Volts
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor 5.0 Volts
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) 5.0 Volts
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) 9.0 Volts
