CIRCUIT INSPECTION
DTC 12 G NE Signal Circuit (No.1)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensors (G1 and G2 signals) are mounted on the intake side of the cylinder head
and the crankshaft position sensor (NE signal) is mounted on the oil pump body. These sensors consist
of a timing rotor and pick up coil.
The G1, G2 timing rotors have 1 tooth each on their outer circumference and are mounted on the intake
camshaft.
When the intake camshaft rotates, the protrusion on the timing rotors and the air gap on the pick up
coil change, causing fluctions in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pick
up coil.
The NE timing rotor has 12 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates
12 NE signals per engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G1,
G2 signals, and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.
