SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGES

Camshaft Reference Sensor Output Voltage

Slot Sensed approximately 5.0 Volts
No Slot Sensed approximately 0.3 Volts [1]

[1] Wide Open Throttle (WOT) output voltage should be about 3 volts higher than idle output voltage

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Output Voltage

Sensor output voltage range is 0.5 to 4.5 volts.

Output voltages between 0.5 and 1.5 volts indicate a high vacuum situation, such as idle or deceleration.

Output voltages between 1.5 and 3.0 volts indicate a medium level of vacuum such as a cruise or slight acceleration condition.

Output voltages between 3.0 and 4.5 volts indicate a low vacuum situation such as hard acceleration or a mechanical failure.

Any reading of 0 volts or over 5 volts indicates a problem.

Oxygen Sensor Output Voltage

Sensor Range is 0 to 1.0 volts.

Output voltages below 0.5 volts indicate a lean condition.

Output voltages over 0.5 volts indicate a rich condition.

Any reading of less than 0 volts or over 1.0 volts indicates a defective sensor.


Throttle Position Sensor Output Voltage

@ Minimum Throttle Opening (Idle) approximately 0.5 Volts
@ Wide Open Throttle (WOT) approximately 3.5 Volts [1]

[1] Wide Open Throttle (WOT) output voltage should be about 3 volts higher than idle output voltage
