Models 1993-1997 release
Examination
1. Check that battery voltage is present between the B+ terminal of the larger ignition distributor connector and the negative terminal of the battery (see fig. Connectors for connecting crankshaft / camshaft position sensors).
2. Remove the ignition distributor and reconnect the larger of the two connectors.
3. Connect a voltmeter set to measure AC voltage up to 5 Volts to the CID and GRD terminals. Rotating the distributor shaft, check that the voltmeter needle deviates once in one complete revolution. Replace the sensor if it is defective.
Replacement
On these models, the camshaft position sensor cannot be replaced separately from the ignition distributor.
1998 models
Examination
Check that the resistance between the sensor connector terminals (see fig. Connectors for connecting crankshaft / camshaft position sensors) was approximately 950-1250 ohms on four-cylinder models and approximately 550 ohms on six-cylinder models. Replace sensor if necessary.
Replacement
