Engine Control System (6WF1) 1A-119
DTC P0072 (Flash code 72)
CKP &CMP both sensor malfunction
3 aa 8
Description of circuit
The camshaft position sensor (CMP) detects the cam
shaft revolutions and. discriminates between the
cylinders. When the pulsar installed in the camshaft
passes the CMP sensor tip section, voltage is
generated that becomes a pulse signal. The engine
Control module (ECM) reads this pulse signal, then
discriminates between the cylinders based on the
signal.
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor detects the
fengine speed. When the sensing ball installed in the
flywheel housing passes the CKP sensor tip section,
voltage is generated that becomes a pulse signal. The
ECM reads this pulse signal, and calculates the engine
‘speed and fue! injection timing based on this signal.
Main trouble phenomena
+ Engine stall
+ Engine does not start
DTC set conditions
+ When both CMP and CKP pulses cannot be
detected for 5 seconds or more during cranking,
"CKP & CMP both concor malfunction’ is
diagnosed, and "DTC P0072" is displayed.
Actions when DTC is set
+ MIL (Check engine lamp) lights,
+ The ECM stops the power supply to injectors and
pump control valve (PCV),
When trouble occurs in the system and that DTC is
memorized by ECM, since the fault region is not
eliminated as it is by DTC, it is eliminated in the
following ways. Furthermore, inspection and repair may
require that you check DTCs, so be sure to note and
Clear the DIs betore pertorming inspection.
DTC deletion method
+ Deleting DTC by operating the accelerator pedal
(Refer to "How to delete DTCs by operating the
accelerator pedal” in “Fault diagnosis process")
+ Use the scan tool to clear DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
If intermittent problem is suspected, the causes cited
next are considered,
+ Poor connection of hamess connector
+ Poor harness witing plan
+ Wearing out of hamess covering
