Camshaft Position Sensor (3.5L)

Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor signal, when combined with the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor signal, enables PCM to determine exactly which cylinder is on a firing stroke. This allows PCM to properly synchronize the ignition system, fuel injectors and knock control. The CMP sensor has a power, ground and signal circuit. The power and ground circuits are supplied by the PCM and are also connected to the CKP sensor.
