Circuit Open/Short Inspection

  1. Remove the PCM. See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .
  2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for an open or short circuit by probing the applicable sensor and PCM terminals with ohmmeter leads.
    • If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harnesses.
    • If there is no open or short circuit, replace the CMP sensor.

      Open Circuit 

    • CMP signal circuit (CMP sensor connector terminal B and PCM connector terminal 3V).

    • Power circuit (CMP sensor connector terminal A and main relay terminal D through common connector).
    • GND circuit (CMP sensor connector terminal C and PCM connector terminal 4A).

      Short Circuit 

      • NOTE: For connector terminals, see Fig 1.
    • CMP signal circuit (CMP sensor connector terminal B and PCM connector terminal 3V to GND).
    • Power circuit (CMP sensor connector terminal A and main relay terminal D through common connector to GND).
  3. Reconnect the CMP sensor connector.
  4. Inspect the protrusion of camshaft (intake side) for damage and cracks.
