What is the role of the Camshaft Position Sensor and How tot be tested and replaced on Volvo 960?

The function of the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is to let the ECM know whether the camshaft is on the first or second revolution of an engine cycle, allowing the engine to know which of the pistons are approaching TDC and, in combination with the crankshaft position sensor, to know which cylinder needs to be ignited. The CMP sensor consists of a trigger rotor which rotates at the same speed as the camshaft and a Hall effect switch, the ECM supplies 5 volts to the Hall effect sensor which grounds when the rotor passes the switch, this will send out a zero voltage signal and the sensor is shielded and will send the 5 volt signal to the ECM. To test the CMP sensor, first unplug the sensor and remove the negative battery cable. Measure the voltage at terminal 3 with a voltmeter when the ignition is ON, it should be the same as the battery voltage. Next, check on the signal return at terminal 2, which should be around 5 volts. For the ground circuit, measure the resistance from terminal 1, which should be 0 ohms. If continuity is out or not there, repair the circuit and if continuity is fine, replace the CMP sensor. For removal, detach the negative battery cable, remove the air inlet hose, unplug the sensor connector and remove the retaining screws to remove the sensor. To install, place back the sensor, tighten the bolts, reconnect the sensor, reinstall the air inlet hose and reconnect the negative battery cable.

Volvo Camshaft Position Sensor

The Volvo Camshaft Position Sensor delivers millisecond precise readings of cam position and speed to allow the engine computer to synchronize fuel injection and spark for fast starts, nice idling, and stout acceleration. The strong magnetic pickup is resistant to heat and vibration, so reliability remains high over days of hard driving. For the entire Volvo range, this small Camshaft Position Sensor is mounted close to the cam gear and, through its continuous feed of the precise RPM, will help ensure that your car performs at its optimal and that your mileage is as economical as possible, as well as helping to prevent any misfires from occurring that could lead to stalling. In the event that the unit is aged, the replacement of the Camshaft Position Sensor immediately helps to restore the correct timing, which in turn preserves pistons and valves from detrimental collisions. Data initially collected by the Camshaft Position Sensor also helps the tachometer to remain accurate, an example of how electronic precision contributes to Volvo attention to detail. Beyond this vital element, Volvo has developed a reputation for intelligent safety worldwide, from introducing the three-point seat belt to its use of advanced braking and clear instrumentation to ensure drivers are informed and safe. Every Volvo model combines clean Scandinavian design with simple controls that minimize distraction, and the brand now presses ahead to an electric future by investing in large numbers of plug-in hybrids and full battery vehicles. Strong chassis construction, responsive steering, and careful ergonomic seats make a long way on the highway less exhausting, while stringent crash testing makes Volvo a standard in relation to occupant protection.

Trust OEM Camshaft Position Sensor for quality that holds up. These parts use top-tier materials to keep your ride running smooth. Because they match exact Volvo specs, you get a flawless fit and a hassle-free install every single time. No more fighting with parts that just won't line up. It is easy to search our massive stock of genuine Volvo options at prices you will really like. Every part comes with a real manufacturer's warranty and a simple return policy. Plus, we ship fast to get your order to you. Shop with confidence and give your Volvo the reliability it deserves.

A:
The function of the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is to let the ECM know whether the camshaft is on the first or second revolution of an engine cycle, allowing the engine to know which of the pistons are approaching TDC and, in combination with the crankshaft position sensor, to know which cylinder needs to be ignited.

Measure the voltage at terminal 3 with a voltmeter when the ignition is ON, it should be the same as the battery voltage. Next, check on the signal return at terminal 2, which should be around 5 volts. For the ground circuit, measure the resistance from terminal 1, which should be 0 ohms. If continuity is out or not there, repair the circuit and if continuity is fine, replace the CMP sensor. For removal, detach the negative battery cable, remove the air inlet hose, unplug the sensor connector and remove the retaining screws to remove the sensor. To install, place back the sensor, tighten the bolts, reconnect the sensor, reinstall the air inlet hose and reconnect the negative battery cable.
