Hot is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).


1. DISCONNECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR
2. INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR RESISTANCE



- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.

Resistance:
Cold: 835 - 1,400 Ohms
Hot: 1,060 - 1,645 Ohms


- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the camshaft position sensor.
