DESCRIPTION

The camshaft position sensor (for intake camshaft) (VV1 signal) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magneto Resistance Element).

The intake camshaft has a timing rotor for the camshaft position sensor. When the camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the timing rotor and MRE, which affects the magnetic field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The camshaft position sensor converts the camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends it to the ECM. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection duration, fuel injection timing and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If no pulse signal is transmitted by the camshaft position sensor (for intake camshaft) despite the camshaft rotating, or if the rotation of the intake camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

Also, when the sensor output voltage remains at less than 0.3 V, or higher than 4.7 V for 4 seconds or more, the ECM stores a DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:
·

If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, there may be a mechanical problem with the engine.

·

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
