Faulty Signal

Faulty signal

Checking the status




- Start the engine.
Read off the fault status from the camshaft position (CMP) sensor to check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent.
The fault is permanent if the fault status is "Fault found". The fault is intermittent if the fault status is "No fault detected".










Continue - Checking the components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the components and wiring
Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A63 (#B3) and camshaft position (CMP) sensor connector terminal #3. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.
Check the ground lead between control module terminal #A19 (#A19) and camshaft position (CMP) sensor connector terminal #2. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.
Check the power supply cable between control module terminal #A17 (#A17) and camshaft position (CMP) sensor connector terminal #1. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.

Hint: With the ignition on and the camshaft position (CMP) sensor connector disconnected, the voltage between terminal #1 and ground must be approximately 5 V.

Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Start the engine.
Read off the fault status of the camshaft position (CMP) sensor.
If the function is correct, the camshaft position (CMP) sensor fault status must be "No fault detected".









Has the fault been remedied?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED

Information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing

No - Attempt New Test
