Adjusting cam position scanner
Posted: October 27th, 2009, 7:58 am
Does anyone know of a scanner I can buy to adjust the cam position sensor, other than the Chrysler DRB. After installing the cam sensor the manual says to hook up DRB to make sure its adjusted right. I would rather buy a scanner than take to a dealer. Here are the instructions AFTER installing the CPS using the "toothpick" method...
Connect DRB scan tool to data link connector. The data link connector is located in passenger compartment, below and to left of steering column.
Gain access to SET SYNC screen on DRB.
Follow directions on DRB screen and start engine. Bring to operating temperature (engine must be in "closed loop" mode).
With engine running at idle speed, the words IN RANGE should appear on screen along with 00. This indicates correct position of oil pump drive.
If a plus (+) or a minus (-) is displayed next to degree number, and/or the degree displayed is not zero, loosen but do not remove hold-down clamp bolt. Rotate oil pump drive until IN RANGE appears on screen. Continue to rotate oil pump drive until achieving as close to 0° as possible. The degree scale on SET SYNC screen of DRB is referring to fuel synchronization only It is not referring to ignition timing. Because of this, do not attempt to adjust ignition timing using this method. Rotating oil pump drive will have no effect on ignition timing. All ignition timing values are controlled by powertrain control module (PCM).
Tighten hold-down clamp bolt to 23 N.m (17 ft. lbs. ) torque.
