Use this procedure to troubleshoot the electrical system if a problem is suspected with the primary engine
speed/timing sensor. Also use this procedure if a problem is suspected with the secondary engine speed/timing
sensor. Use this procedure to troubleshoot the electrical system if a diagnostic code in Table 1 is active or easily
repeated.

Frequency, Pulse sensor and the secondary engine speed/timing sensor are abnormal.
Width, or Period
The engine uses two engine speed/timing sensors. Both sensors detect the reference for engine speed and timing
from a unique pattern on the camshaft gear. The ECM uses the pattern of the pulses in order to determine the
position of the crankshaft. The ECM measures the time between the pulses that are created by the sensors as the
gears rotate in order to determine rpm.
Under normal operation, the secondary engine speed/timing sensor is used to determine timing for starting
purposes. The secondary engine speed/timing sensor is used to determine when the piston in the No. 1 cylinder
is at the top of the compression stroke. The primary engine speed/timing sensor is then used to determine engine
speed and the signal from the secondary camshaft sensor is ignored.

After locating the No. 1 cylinder, the ECM triggers each injector in the correct firing order and at the correct unit
injector timing. The actual timing and duration of each injection is based on engine rpm and load. If the engine
is running and the signal from the primary engine speed/timing sensor is lost, a slight change in engine
performance will be noticed. The change will be noticed when the ECM performs the changeover to the
secondary engine speed/timing sensor. Loss of the signal from the secondary engine speed/timing sensor during
engine operation will not result in any noticeable change in engine performance. However, if the signal from the
secondary engine speed/timing sensor is not present during start-up the following conditions may exist:
The engine may require a slightly longer amount of time to start up.
The engine may run rough for a few seconds until the ECM determines the proper firing order by using
the primary engine speed/timing sensor only.
The engine will start and the engine will run when only one sensor signal is present from either of the sensors.
Loosing the signal from both of the sensors during engine operation will result in the termination of injection.
The ECM will then shutdown the engine. The loss of the signal from both of the sensors during start-up will
prevent the engine from starting.
Both sensors are magnetic sensors with an integral connector. The two sensors are not interchangeable. Do not
switch the positions of the sensor. If the sensors are replaced, a timing calibration is not necessary for the engine.
