Camshaft Position Sensor - G40-, CHECKING

Function

Using the signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, the precise position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft is determined very quickly when the engine is started. Used in combination with the signal from the Engine Speed Sensor -G28-, the signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- allows to detect which cylinder is at TDC. The fuel can be injected into the corresponding cylinder and ignited.

Test Procedure

Step	Procedure	Result / Action to Take
1	PERFORM: Preliminary Check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK . -- Was Complaint verified?	-- YES: GO TO Step 2 Camshaft Position Sensor - G40-, CHECKING => 2 . -- NO: GATHER more information from customer about the complaint.
2	DISCONNECT: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector. IGNITION: ON. CHECK: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector terminals 1 to 3 for voltage. SPECIFIED VALUE: About 5.0 V. IGNITION: OFF. -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: GO TO Step 3 Camshaft Position Sensor - G40-, CHECKING => 3 . -- NO: GO TO Step 4 Camshaft Position Sensor - G40-, CHECKING => 4 .
3	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. CHECK: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T60 / 44 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-. Refer to appropriate repair information. GO TO: Step 5 Camshaft Position Sensor - G40-, CHECKING => 5 . -- NO: CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 5 Camshaft Position Sensor - G40-, CHECKING => 5 .
4	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. CHECK: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T60 / 10 for resistance. CHECK: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector terminal 3 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T60 / 51 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to appropriate repair information. GO TO: Step 5 Camshaft Position Sensor - G40-, CHECKING => 5 . -- NO: CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 5 Camshaft Position Sensor - G40-, CHECKING => 5 .
5	Final Procedure Perform a road test to verify repair. Do any DTC's return:	-- YES: Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY . Perform the diagnostic procedure for that DTC. -- NO: Repair is complete. Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE . Return vehicle to Customer.
