Test sequence

• Disconnect 3-pin connector -1- from Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor -2-.
• Connect multimeter to terminal 1 (B+) and 3 (Ground -GND-) of the respective connector for Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor for voltage measurement.
• Switch ignition on.

  Specified value: at least 4.5 V

• Switch ignition off.

If there is no voltage:

• Connect test box to control module wiring harness, see CONNECT TEST BOX FOR WIRING TEST .

• Check for open circuits in wires between test box and connector according to wiring diagram.

  Terminal 1+socket 98

  Terminal 2+socket 86

  Terminal 3 + socket 108

  Wire resistance: max: 1.5 Ω

• Also check wires for short circuit to each other.

  Specified value: INFINITY Ω

If no malfunctions are found in the wires and there was voltage between terminals 1 + 3:

• Replace Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor:
  • Vehicles with engine code AWD, see item  11,
  • Vehicles with engine code AWP, AWW, see item  7
• Erase DTC memory of Engine Control Module (ECM), see DIAGNOSTIC MODE 4: RESET/ERASE DIAGNOSTIC DATA .
• Generate readiness code, see READINESS CODE, GENERATING .

If no malfunctions are found in wires and there was no voltage between terminals 1 + 3:

• Replace Engine Control Module (ECM), see REPLACING ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) .
