    (1) There are 60 signals of CKPS (Including missing tooth) during the semi-cycle of CMPS #1.

    (2) There are 3~5 signals of CKPS between the switching point of CMPS #1 and the missing tooth of CKPS.

  3. Is the signal waveform normal?

    YES 

    • Go to next step as below.

    NO 

    • Repair or readjust as necessary, if air gap of the CKPS is exceeds specification[0.3~1.7 mm (0.012~0.067 in)]. If OK, check that the crankshaft and camshaft are correctly aligned the matching marks of the pulleys. Repair or readjust as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
