Circuit Description

Ignition system supplies 2 timing inputs to PCM, a high resolution signal (360 pulses per camshaft revolution) and a low resolution signal (4 pulses per camshaft revolution). PCM can determine if either timing input is not being received by comparing inputs. If PCM detects high resolution pulse without detecting low pulse, Code 16 will set. Reference signal on resolution line toggles between zero and 5 volts as camshaft turns.
