## DESCRIPTION

The camshaft position sensor (G) signal consists of a magnet and MRE element.
The camshaft drive gear has 3 teeth on its inner circumference. When the camshaft gear rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the protrusion on the gear and the pickup coil. The change affects the magnetic field and results in changes in the resistance of the MRE element. The crankshaft angle sensor plate has 34 teeth and outputs 34 signals every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signal, and actual crankshaft angle and engine speed based on the crankshaft position sensor (NE) signal.

## INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

  Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, 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.

1.CHECK ECM TERMINAL VOLTAGE

1. Inspect using an oscilloscope.

   1. While the engine is idling, check the waveform of the ECM connector.

      OK:
        Correct waveform is as shown

      Tester Connection | E17-19 (VV1+) - E17-29 (VV1-) E17-18 (VV2+) - E17-28 (VV2-) E17-21 (NE+) - E17-20 (NE-)
      Tool Setting | 5 V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV.
      Condition | Idling

| NG |

REPLACE VVT SENSOR

OK |

2.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (SENSOR POWER SOURCE)

1. Disconnect the C17 or C18 VVT sensor connector.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON.

1. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

   Standard voltage:

     Tester Connection | Specified Condition
     C18-3 (VC) - Body ground | 4.5 to 5.5 V
     C17-3 (VC) - Body ground | 4.5 to 5.5 V

| NG |

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK |

3.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (VVT SENSOR - ECM)

1. Disconnect the C17 and C18 VVT sensor connectors.

1. Disconnect the E17 ECM connector.

1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

   Standard resistance:

     Tester Connection | Specified Condition
     C18-1 (VVR+) - E17-19 (VV1+) | Below 1 Ω
     C17-1 (VVL+) - E17-18 (VV2+) | Below 1 Ω
     C18-2 (VVR-) - E17-29 (VV1-) | Below 1 Ω
     C17-2 (VVL-) - E17-28 (VV2-) | Below 1 Ω
     C18-1 (VVR+) or E17-19 (VV1+) - Body ground | 10 kΩ or higher
     C17-1 (VVL+) or E17-18 (VV2+) - Body ground | 10 kΩ or higher
     C18-2 (VVR-) or E17-29 (VV1-) - Body ground | 10 kΩ or higher
     C17-2 (VVL-) or E17-28 (VV2-) - Body ground | 10 kΩ or higher

| NG |

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

OK |

4.CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (VVT SENSOR)

1. Check the VVT sensor installation.

   OK:
     Sensor is installed correctly.

| NG |

TIGHTEN SENSOR

OK |

5.CHECK CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY (TEETH OF PLATE)

1. Check the teeth of the signal plate.

   OK:
     Signal plate does not have cranks or deformation.

| NG |

REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY

OK |

REPLACE VVT SENSOR
