PID: S221
SPN: 1043
FMI: 11/11

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

Circuit Description

The ECM supplies the camshaft engine position with positive (+) 5 VDC. If the supply line is damaged, the sensors will not work correctly.

Component Location

The camshaft engine position sensor is located on the intake side of the engine block on the cylinder head to the right of the ECM.

Shop Talk

Low voltage on the positive (+) 5-VDC supply line will be caused by a short circuit to ground in a supply line, a short circuit between a supply line or a return line, a failed sensor, or a failed ECM power supply.

Refer to Troubleshooting Fault Code t05-496.
