Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, Checking

General Description

Using the signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, the precise position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft is determined very quickly when the engine is started. Used in combination with the signal from the Engine speed Sensor -G28-, the signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- allows to detect which cylinder is at TDC. The fuel can be injected into the corresponding cylinder and ignited.

Step	Procedure	Result / Action to Take
1	PERFORM: Preliminary Check to verify the customers concern. Refer to . -- Was Complaint verified?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 2 Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING - 2 . -- NO: GATHER more information from customer about the complaint.
2	IGNITION: OFF. DISCONNECT: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector. IGNITION: ON. CHECK: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector terminals 1 to 3 for voltage. SPECIFIED VALUE: About 5.0 V. IGNITION: OFF. -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 3 Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING - 3 . -- NO: GO TO: Step 4 Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING - 4 .
3	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate service information. CHECK: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector terminals T105 / 30 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω) -- Was Value obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-. Refer to appropriate service information. GO TO: Step 5 Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING - 5 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 5 Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING - 5 .
4	REMOVE: Engine Control Module - J623-. Refer to appropriate service information. CHECK: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T105 / 35 for resistance. CHECK: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40- harness connector terminal 3 to the Engine Control Module - J623- harness connector T105 / 47 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-. Refer to appropriate service information. GO TO: Step 5 Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING - 5 . -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 5 Camshaft Position Sensor -G40-, CHECKING - 5 .
5	Final Procedure Perform a road test to verify repair. -- Does the original DTC return?	-- YES: CHECK: Engine Control Module -J623- harness connector for any damaged, pushed-out pins. REPAIR: As necessary. If all electrical connections are OK: REPLACE: Engine Control Module -J623-. Refer to appropriate service information. Clear the DTC's. Refer to . Repair is complete. Generate Readiness Code. Refer to . Return vehicle to Customer. -- NO: Perform the diagnostic procedure for any DTC's. If no DTC's return the repair is complete. Return vehicle to customer.
