Models produced between 1993 and 1997
Examination
1. Check that the battery voltage is present between the B+ terminal of the larger ignition distributor connector and the negative terminal of the battery (see figure 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. Rotate the distributor shaft, ensuring that the voltmeter needle deflects once per full revolution. Replace the sensor if it is faulty.
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 terminals of the sensor connection connector (see figureConnectors for connecting crankshaft/camshaft position sensors) was approximately 950–1250 ohms on four-cylinder models and approximately 550 ohms on six-cylinder models. Replace the sensor if necessary.
Replacement
Models with 4-cylinder engine
1. Disconnect the sensor connection connector, unscrew the mounting bolt and remove the sensor.
2. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
Models with 6-cylinder engine
1. Remove the timing belt and camshaft pulley.
2. Disconnect the sensor connection connector, unscrew the mounting bolt and remove the sensor.
3. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
