Signal too low

Checking the status




- start the engine.
Read off the fault status of the camshaft position (CMP) sensor. "DIAGNOSIS COMPLETE" must be displayed when the camshaft position (CMP) sensor has been tested. If the fault status is "NO FAULT FOUND" when the diagnostic is complete there is an intermittent fault.










Continue - Checking the wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking the wiring




- Ignition off.
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #A47 (#A47) and camshaft position (CMP) sensor connector terminal #3. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Check the power cable between control module terminal #A29 (#A29) and camshaft position (CMP) sensor connector terminal #1. Check for an open-circuit.

Hint: With the ignition on and the camshaft position (CMP) sensor connector disconnected, the voltage between terminal #1 and ground terminal should be approximately 5 V.

Remedy as necessary.
