CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor (G2 signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The G2 signal plate has 1 tooth on its outer circumference and is mounted on the intake camshaft.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft timing pulley. The NE signal sensor gen-
erates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The engine ECM detects the crankshaft angle and the engine
speed based on the NE signals, and idetify the cylinder on the G2 (Camshaft position sensor) and NE sig-
nals.
DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
No camshaft position sensor signal to ECM during cranking
(2 trip detection logic) Open or short in camshaft position sensor circuit
P0340 Camshaft position sensor
No camshaft position sensor signal to ECM with engine speed
Camshaft
600 rpm or more (1 trip detection logic)
Jumping teeth of timing chain
While crankshaft rotates twice, camshaft position sensor signal ECM
P0341
will be input to ECM 12 times or more (1 trip detection logic)
HINT:
DTC P0340 indicate a malfunction related to the camshaft position sensor (+) circuit.
(Wire harness (ECM camshaft position sensor) and camshaft position sensor)
DTC P0341 indicate a malfunction related to the camshaft position sensor (–) circuit.
(Wire harness (ECM camshaft position sensor) and camshaft position sensor)
WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P0335 and P0339 on page DI–90.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand–held tester or the OBDII scan tool, as freeze frame records the en-
gine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether
the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air–fuel ratio was lean or rich,
etc. at the time of the malfunction.
OK
2 Check for open and short in harness and connector between ECM and camshaft
position sensor (See page IN–28).
OK
3 Inspect sensor installation (See page EM–55) and tooth of intake camshaft
(See page EM–12).
