(3) Check condition of relay terminals and PDC
connector terminals for damage or corrosion. Repair
if necessary before installing relay.
(4) Check for pin height (pin height should be the
same for all terminals within the PDC connector).
Repair if necessary before installing relay.

DESCRIPTION
3.7L V-6
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 3.7L
6-cylinder engine is bolted to the right-front side of
the right cylinder head.
4.7L V-8
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.7L
V-8 engine is bolted to the right-front side of the
right cylinder head.
5.7L V-8
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.7L
V-8 engine is located below the generator on the tim-
ing chain / case cover on the right/front side of
engine.
5.9L Diesel
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.9L
diesel engine is located below the fuel injection
pump. It is bolted to the back of the timing gear
cover.
5.9L V-8 Gas
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 5.9L
V-8 engine is located inside the distributor.
8.0L V–10
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 8.0L
V-10 engine is located on the timing chain / case
cover on the left/front side of engine.
OPERATION
3.7L V-6
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) sensor on the
3.7L V-6 engine contains a hall effect device referred
to as a sync signal generator. A rotating target wheel
(tonewheel) for the CMP is located at the front of the
camshaft for the right cylinder head (Fig. 6). This
sync signal generator detects notches located on a
tonewheel. As the tonewheel rotates, the notches
pass through the sync signal generator. The signal
from the CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the
Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) to differentiate
between fuel injection and spark events. It is also
used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their
respective cylinders.
When the leading edge of the tonewheel notch
enters the tip of the CMP, the interruption of mag-
netic field causes the voltage to switch high, result-
ing in a sync signal of approximately 5 volts.
When the trailing edge of the tonewheel notch
leaves then tip of the CMP, the change of the mag-
netic field causes the sync signal voltage to switch
low to 0 volts.
4.7L V-8
The CMP sensor on the 4.7L engine contains a hall
effect device called a sync signal generator to gener-
ate a fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator
detects notches located on a tonewheel. The tone-
wheel is located at the front of the camshaft for the
right cylinder head (Fig. 7). As the tonewheel rotates,
the notches pass through the sync signal generator.
The pattern of the notches (viewed counter-clockwise
from front of engine) is: 1 notch, 2 notches, 3 notches,
