Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) is a hall sensor and detects the camshaft position by using a hall element.
It is related with Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKPS) and
detects the piston position of each cylinder which the CKPS can''t
detect.
The CMPS is installed on engine head cover and uses a target
wheel installed on the camshaft. The Cam Position sensor is a
hall-effect type sensor. As the target wheel passes the Hall sensor, the
magnetic field changes in the sensor. The sensor then switches a signal
which creates a square wave.
Inspection 1. Check the signal waveform of the CMPS and CKPS using the GDS. Specification: Refer to “Wave Form” Removal 1. Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal. ...
Safety Precaution Since hybrid vehicles contain a high voltage battery, if the high voltage system or vehicles are handled incorrectly, this might lead to a serious accidents like electric shock and electric leakage. • Be sure to shut off the high voltage by removing the ...
