Wave Pattern Observation Points
Check that cycle time T becomes shorter when the engine speed increases.
Examples of Abnormal Wave Patterns
D Example 1
Cause of problem
Sensor interface malfunction
Wave pattern characteristics
Rectangular wave pattern is output even when the engine
is not started.
D Example 2
Cause of problem
Loose timing belt
Abnormality in sensor disk
Wave pattern characteristics
Wave pattern is displaced to the left or right.
