The crankshaft sensor is located on the rear of the
transmission housing, above the differential housing
(Fig. 11). The sensor connector has a christmas tree
attached to the heater tube bracket. The bottom of
the sensor is positioned next to the drive plate.
CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR—2.4L
The PCM determines fuel injection synchronization
and cylinder identification from inputs provided by
the camshaft position sensor (Fig. 12) and crankshaft
position sensor. From the two inputs, the PCM deter-
mines crankshaft position.
The camshaft position sensor attaches to the rear of
the cylinder head (Fig. 13). A target magnet attaches to
the rear of the camshaft and indexes to the correct posi-
tion. The target magnet has four different poles
arranged in an asymmetrical pattern. As the target
magnet rotates, the camshaft position sensor senses the
change in polarity (Fig. 14). The sensor input switches
from high (5 volts) to low (0.30 volts) as the target mag-
net rotates. When the north pole of the target magnet
passes under the sensor, the output switches high. The
sensor output switches low when the south pole of the
target magnet passes underneath.
