723/FMI 8
1. Use DDDL to insure that cranking speed is over 150 RPM. Is cranking speed over 150 RPM?
[a] Yes, go to next step.
[b] No, refer to section 3.3 "Defective Starter" to determine the cause of low crank speed.
2. Disconnect the camshaft position sensor harness connector.
3. Turn on the ignition (key ON, engine OFF).
4. Inspect the sensor harness for bent, spread, or corroded pins.
[a] If the pins are bent, spread, or corroded, repair as necessary.
[b] If connector shows no signs of damage, go to next step.
5. Measure the voltage between pin 1 and pin 3 on the harness side of the camshaft position sensor.
[a] If the voltage is greater than 4.5 volts, go to next step.
[b] If the voltage is less than 4.5 volts, go to step 7.
6. Measure the voltage between pin 2 and pin 3 on the harness side of the camshaft position sensor.
[a] If the voltage is less than 11.5 volts, repair the wire between pin 2 of the harness side of the
camshaft position sensor and pin 45 of the MCM 120-pin connector.
[b] If the voltage is greater than 11.5 volts, go to step 8.
7. Measure the voltage between pin 1 on the harness side of the camshaft position sensor and
engine ground.
[a] If the voltage is less than 4.5 volts, repair the wire between pin 1 of the harness side of the
camshaft position sensor and pin 82 of the MCM 120-pin connector.
[b] If the voltage is greater than 4.5 volts, repair the wire between pin 2 of the harness side of
the camshaft position sensor and pin 45 of the MCM 120-pin connector.
8. Has the engine had any gear train, camshaft, or flywheel repairs made?
[a] Yes, verify proper gear train timing and proper flywheel installation.
[b] No, go to next step.
9. Remove the camshaft position sensor and inspect for damage. Is there damage to the sensor?
[a] Yes, inspect the tone wheel on the intake cam for damage. Check gear train for excessive
lash or damage. If damage is found, repair as necessary, and replace the camshaft position
sensor. Verify repairs.
[b] No, replace the camshaft position sensor. Verify repairs.
