CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS INSPECTION

NOTICE: "Cold" and "Hot" in those sentences express the temperature of the sensors 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).

1. REMOVE V-BANK COVER
2. REMOVE BATTERY CLAMP COVER





3. DISCONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTORS





4. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance:
Cold: 835 - 1,400 Ohms
Hot: 1,060 - 1,645 Ohms


If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
5. RECONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTORS
6. REINSTALL BATTERY CLAMP COVER
7. REINSTALL V-BANK COVER
