DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE WITH DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)

Step

Value

Yes

No

1

CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO CAMSHAFT 
POSITION SENSOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from camshaft posi-

tion sensor.

3) Measure voltage between camshaft posi-

tion sensor and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E15) No. 1 (+) — Engine ground (

−−−−

):

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

10V Repair 

ground 

short circuit 
between main 
relay connector 
and camshaft 
position sensor 
connector.

Go to step 2.

2

CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO CAMSHAFT 
POSITION SENSOR.
1) Turn ignition switch to ON.
2) Measure voltage between camshaft posi-

tion sensor and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E15) No. 1 (+) — Engine ground (

−−−−

):

Does the measured value exceed the spec-
ified value?

10V 

Go to step 3.

Repair open or 
ground short cir-
cuit between main 
relay connector 
and camshaft 
position sensor 
connector.

3

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN CAMSHAFT 
POSITION SENSOR AND ECM.
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF.
2) Disconnect connector from ECM.
3) Measure resistance between camshaft 

position sensor and ECM.

Connector & terminal

(E15) No. 2 — (B135) No. 1:
(E15) No. 3 — (B135) No. 10:

Is the measured value less than the speci-
fied value?

1 

Ω

Go to step 4.

Repair open circuit 
between camshaft 
position sensor 
and ECM.

4

CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN CAMSHAFT 
POSITION SENSOR AND ECM.
Measure resistance between camshaft posi-
tion sensor and engine ground.

Connector & terminal

(E15) No. 2 — Engine ground:
(E15) No. 3 — Engine ground:

Does the measured value exceed the specified 
value?

1 M

Ω

Go to step 5.

Repair ground 
short circuit 
between camshaft 
position sensor 
and ECM.

5

CHECK CONDITION OF CAMSHAFT POSI-
TION SENSOR.
Is the camshaft position sensor installation bolt 
tightened securely?

Tightened securely.

Go to step 6.

Tighten camshaft 
position sensor 
installation bolt 
securely.

6

CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR.
Check camshaft position sensor wave form. 
<Ref. to EN(H6DO)-28, WAVEFORM, MEA-
SUREMENT, Engine Control Module (ECM) I/
O Signal.>
Is any abnormality found in waveform?

Normal waveform.

Go to step 7.

Replace camshaft 
position sensor. 
<Ref. to 
FU(H6DO)-31, 
Camshaft Position 
Sensor.>

7

CHECK POOR CONTACT.
Check poor contact in ECM connector.
Is there poor contact in ECM connector?

There is poor contact.

Repair poor con-
tact in ECM con-
nector.

Replace ECM.
