APP (Accelerator Pedal Position) Sensor

 Description
 The 2005-2007 APP sensors are potentiometer type sensors. The 2008 -2010 sensors are Hall Effect
Sensors
 Location
 Mounted on the accelerator pedal control assembly. The 2005-2007 sensor is comprised of three
individual sensors within one housing. The 2008-2010 sensors are comprise of two individual sensors
within one housing
 Operation
 The ECM uses the APP signals to determine the amount of acceleration or deceleration that is desired. If
the correlation between two sensors is out of range ,this indicates a skewed sensor.
 Each APP sensor provides a signal to the ECM relative to the position changes of the accelerator pedal
angle.
 APP sensor 1 signal voltage is low at rest and increases as the pedal is depressed.
 APP sensor 2 and APP sensor 3 signal voltages are high at rest and decrease as the pedal is depressed.

 CKP (Crankshaft Position) Sensor
 Description
 Magnetic coil type sensor [coil resistance is 105-145Ω at °F (20 °C)] which generates an AC signal
voltage based on the crankshaft rotational speed.
 There are 56 notches spaced 6 apart and a 30 section that is an open span. The open span portion
allows for the detection of cylinder #1 at top dead center (TDC).
 Location
 Located on top of the flywheel housing.
 Operation
 ECM/PCM monitors both the CKP sensor and CMP sensor signals to ensure they correlate with each
other
 If the CKP sensor signal is lost while the vehicle is running, the CMP sensor signal will substitute for the
CKP sensor signal

 CMP (Camshaft Position) Sensor

 Description
 Detects a total of five through holes (four holes are arranged equally every 90 on the face of the cam
gear and one 5 reference hole on the camshaft gear flange surface – this indicates TDC on #1 cylinder)
 Location
 Installed on the cylinder head at the rear of the camshaft gear
 Operation
 ECM/PCM uses the CMP signal to synchronize fuel injection
 If the CMP sensor signal is lost while the vehicle is running, the CKP sensor signal will substitute for the
CMP sensor signal
