Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor - 4.0L: Installation
- Lubricate oil pump drive pinion, flange and O-ring. DO NOT get oil above mounting flange.
- Rotate crankshaft until TDC mark on damper is accessible. Place a mark on the damper at 26 degrees After Top Dead Center 1.34 inches (34 mm) counterclockwise from TDC mark. See Fig 1 . Rotate crankshaft to position No. 1 cylinder at TDC.
- Align sensor rotor with trailing edge of vane lined up with short mark at the left hand side of the plastic window. See Fig 2 . Position the sensor above its hole at right angles to the block rear face with wiring connector pointing rearward.
- Install assembled sensor and oil pump drive gear into engine. As assembly is pushed into place, sensor vane will rotate clockwise toward center of window. See Fig 3 . Rotate sensor counterclockwise. Install clamp and screw finger tight. Rotate sensor back to position at right angles to back of block.See Fig 4 .
- Install Breakout Box (49 UN01 130) to PCM. Connect voltmeter positive lead to terminal No. 85 and negative lead to terminal No. 103 of breakout box.
Rotate engine 2 revolutions to take up slack in timing chain, and verify that No. 1 cylinder is on compression stroke. Continue to rotate crankshaft until 26 degree ATDC mark lines up with timing pointer.
- While rotating sensor, note exact point where sensor switches from zero to battery voltage.
Rotate sensor clockwise past switching point from battery voltage to zero volts. Rotate sensor counterclockwise and stop at exact point voltmeter switches from zero volts to battery voltage. Tighten CMP sensor hold down bolt to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Disconnect testing harness and connect sensor harness.
NOTE:
Voltmeter will register battery voltage when sensor closes and completes circuit.
NOTE:
Final movement to set sensor must be counterclockwise direction.
