Circuit Description

The crankshaft position and camshaft position sensors are hall effect type sensors. The ECM provides a 5 volt supply to the position sensor and a return circuit. As the teeth on the crankshaft speed ring or the dimples in the back of the camshaft gear move past the position sensor, a signal is generated on the position sensor signal circuit. The ECM interprets this signal and converts it to an engine speed. A missing tooth on the crankshaft gear is used to determine the position of the engine by the ECM.

Component Location

Both engine position sensors are located on the back side of the front gear housing above the fuel pump drive. Refer to Procedure 100-002 (Engine Diagrams) in Section F for a detailed component location view.

Conditions for Running the Diagnostics

This diagnostic runs continuously when the engine is running.

Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes

The ECM detects that the crankshaft position and camshaft position signal inputs to the ECM are reversed.

Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active

  • The ECM illuminates the red STOP ENGINE light immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
  • The ECM detects the reversed sensors and continues to operate.

Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code

The ECM will turn off the red CHECK ENGINE light immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.

Shop Talk

Verify the electronic control module (ECM) calibration is correct. Check the calibration revision history found on QuickServe® Online for applicable fixes to the calibration stored in the ECM. If necessary, recalibrate the ECM. Refer to Procedure 019-032 (ECM Calibration Code) in Section 19 in the corresponding Troubleshooting and Repair Manual for the engine being serviced.

This fault code indicates that the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position sensor wiring harness connectors are reversed.
