Mazda 6 Service Manual / Fuel and emission control systems / Control system / Camshaft position (cmp) sensor inspection

Caution

When foreign material such as an iron chip is on the CMP sensor, it can cause abnormal output from the sensor because of flux turbulence and adversely affect the engine control. Be sure there is no foreign material on the CMP sensor when replacing.

Note

Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Resistance Inspection

1. Disconnect the CMP sensor connector.

2. Measure the resistance between CMP sensor terminals A and B using an ohmmeter.

If not as specified, replace the CMP sensor.
If CMP sensor resistance is okay, perform the Circuit Open/Short Inspection.
