Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor

The 3.6 liter engine uses a Dual Over Head Camshaft (DOHC) configuration. The camshafts are a nodular cast iron design and have two pressed on magnetic timing wheels that are magnetically encoded. The two CMP sensors are located at the rear of the cylinder head covers. The sensors are bolted to the cylinder head and utilize a radial lip seal where they protrude through the covers. The attaching bolt has an O-ring seal and is captured in the sensor. The CMP sensors are dual read, single element hall effect sensors mounted between the magnetic encoded timing wheels. The magnetic timing wheels are used because of their small diameter allowing for a compact cylinder head design.
