circuit / Circuit description
Toyota Corolla (E120): Circuit description
The camshaft position sensor (g22+ signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The g22+ signal plate has 3 teeth on its outer circumference and is installed on the camshaft timing pulley.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil changes, causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The ne+ signal plate (crankshaft timing pulley) has 34 teeth and is installed to the crankshaft. The ne+ signal sensor generates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The ecm detects the crankshaft angle and the engine revolution based on the ne+ signals, and the cylinder and the angle of the vvt based on the combination of the g22+ and ne+ signals.


Reference: inspection using the oscilloscope.
Hint
: the correct waveform is as shown on the left.

Monitor description
If there is no signal from the camshaft position sensor despite the engine revolving, or if the rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ecm interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

On–vehicle inspection
1. Inspection throttle body idle speed control valve assy
Notice:
it is impossible to check the resister value and the operation
of isc valve by itself, because the isc valve
has an ic circuit inside it, which transforms the duty
signal from the ecm to the derive signal.
After check ...
Pre–check
1. Selecting compass display mode
the compass switch allows you to select the display or non–display
mode of the compass.
2. Setting zone
deviation between the ”magnetic north” and ”actual north” differs
depending on the location. Therefore,
adjustment of the ...
Overhaul
1. Remove w/head taper screw plug no.2
Using a socket hexagon wench 10, remove the taper
screw plug and gasket.
2. Remove valve lifter
Remove the valve lifters from the cylinder head.
3. Remove valve
Place the cylinder head on wooden blocks.
