CIRCUIT INSPECTIONDiag. Code 12
RPM Signal Circuit (No.1)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Cam position sensors (G1 and G2 signals) and engine speed sensor (NE sig\
nal) consist of a signal plate
and a pick up coil.
The G1, G2 signal plates have one tooth each on its outer circumference and\
are mounted on the left and
right bank camshafts.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pick up coil change,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive forc\
e in the pick up coil.
The NE signal plate has 12 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE s\
ignal sensor generates 12
NE signals per engine revolution. The ECU detects the standard crankshaf\
t angle based on the G1, G2
signals, and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE \
signals.
