The camshaft position sensor attaches to the rear
L
of the cylinder head. A target magnet attaches to
the rear of the camshaft and indexes to the correct
position. The target magnet has four different poles
arranged in an asymmetrical pattern. As the target
magnet rotates, the camshaft position sensor
senses the change in polarity. The sensor output
switch switches from high (5.0 volts) to low (0.30
volts) as the target magnet rotates. When the north
pole of the target magnet passes under the sensor,
the output switches high. The sensor output switches
low when the south pole of the target magnet passes
underneath.
