Diesel Engine
The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) is a Hall-effect sensor that generates a digital frequency while windows in a target wheel pass through its magnetic field. The frequency of the windows passing by the sensor, as well as the width of selected windows, allows the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) (PCM) to detect engine speed and position.
