Engine will run derated. Excessive smoke, hard start, and rough idle possible.

Engine Speed Sensor and Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE

Circuit Description

The engine speed sensor and camshaft position sensor provide an engine speed and position signal to the electronic control module (ECM) through the engine harness.

Component Location

Refer to Procedure 100-002 (Engine Views) in Section E for a detailed component location view.

Shop Talk

This fault will become active anytime the ECM receives a signal from both the primary EPS (crankshaft sensor) and the backup EPS (camshaft sensor), and the ECM determines that the camshaft and crankshaft signals are not in the correct phase. If this fault code is active immediately following a repair that includes camshaft removal, it is likely that the camshaft gear was installed incorrectly and is not timed correctly.
