Description and Operation
Description
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) is used to detect the camshaft position using a Hall element, also called a Hall sensor. The CMPS, installed on the cylinder head cover, uses a target wheel installed on the camshaft to determine the position of each piston, which cannot be detected by the CKPS. It is equipped with a Hall effect IC, whose output voltage changes when a magnetic field acts on the IC with current flowing. Therefore, sequential fuel injection for each cylinder is possible with the CKPS signal.
