Camshaft Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

a. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.

RESISTANCE:
835 to 1400 Ohms at cold
1060 to 1645 Ohms at hot

NOTE: Cold and Hot mean the temperature of the coils themselves. Cold is from - 10 °C (14 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F) and Hot is from 50 °C (122 °F) to 100 °C (212 °F).

HINT: If the resistance is not as specified, replace the camshaft position sensor.
