Camshaft Position Sensor

2000 Chevrolet C Tahoe 2WD V8-5.7L VIN RSECTION Camshaft Position Sensor

Camshaft Position Sensor:




The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is located within the distributor. The CMP operation is very similar to the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor, however the CMP provides one pulse per camshaft revolution (1X signal). This signal is not detrimental to the driveability of the vehicle. The VCM utilizes this signal in conjunction with the crankshaft position to determine which cylinders are misfiring.
