Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP)

Location:

Camshaft Position Sensors can be located on the cylinder head, valve cover, 

timing case cover, or on a drive housing protruding from the engine block.

The Camshaft Position Sensor is an input to the engines computer system or 

ignition control module. The Cam Sensor locates the position of the camshaft for proper 

ignition firing and fuel injector firing sequence. The sensor is also required by the computer 

for proper cylinder misfire identification.
