Code No. P0365: Exaust Camshaft Position Sensor System








OPERATION



  • Power is supplied to the exhaust camshaft position sensor (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 9) and is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 23) from the exhaust camshaft position sensor (terminal No. 2).
  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the exhaust camshaft position sensor output terminal (terminal No. 3) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 7).

FUNCTION



  • The exhaust camshaft position sensor detects the top dead center on the compression stroke of the No. 1 cylinder and inputs a pulse signal to the engine-ECU.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Condition, Judgment Criterion
  • Normal signal pattern has not been input for cylinder identification from the crank angle sensor signal and inlet camshaft position sensor signal for 2 seconds.
Check Condition
  • Engine is being cranked.
Judgement Criterion
  • Exhaust camshaft position sensor output voltage has not changed (no pulse signal is input) for 2 seconds.

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION



  • Does not control variable valve timing (V.V.T).

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed exhaust camshaft position sensor
  • Open/short circuit or harness damage in exhaust camshaft position sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU
