Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor

Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual / Engine / Control / Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor

Purpose/Function

Detects the camshaft speed as basic information for mainly determining the fuel injection timing and ignition timing.
Detects the camshaft speed and inputs it to the PCM as a CMP signal.

Construction

Intake CMP sensor

Installed on the cylinder head.
A GMR element has been adopted as the detecting element for detecting the intake camshaft speed.

Exhaust CMP sensor

Installed on the rear housing.
A GMR element has been adopted as the detecting element for detecting the exhaust camshaft speed.

Operation

Inputs the signal, which fluctuates according to the camshaft speed, to the PCM.
