Camshaft Position Sensor: MR2
- Camshaft position sensor may also be referred to Variable Valve Timing (VVT) sensor. Camshaft position sensor is located just above intake manifold on cylinder head, at flywheel end of engine. See Figure.
- Manufacturer recommends removing camshaft position sensor from cylinder head before checking the resistance. Remove camshaft position sensor. See CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR under IGNITION SYSTEMS in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - 4-CYLINDER article.
- Using ohmmeter, check resistance between electrical terminals on camshaft position sensor. Ensure camshaft position sensor resistance is within specification. See CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE table. Replace camshaft position sensor if resistance is not within specification. Reinstall camshaft position sensor.
