DESCRIPTION
5.7L
Fig. 9: Locating CMP Sensor - 5.7L Engine

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) (2) is located below the generator on the timing chain/case cover (1) on
the right/front side of engine.
OPERATION
5.7L
Fig. 10: Locating CMP Sensor - 5.7L Engine

The CMP sensor is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel
injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders. The
sensor generates electrical pulses. These pulses (signals) are sent to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The
PCM will then determine crankshaft position from both the camshaft position sensor and crankshaft position
sensor.
The tonewheel is located at the front of the camshaft (2). As the tonewheel rotates, notches (3) pass through the
sync signal generator.
When the cam gear is rotating, the sensor will detect the notches. Input voltage from the sensor to the PCM will
then switch from a low (approximately 0.3 volts) to a high (approximately 5 volts). When the sensor detects a
notch has passed, the input voltage switches back low to approximately 0.3 volts.

SENSOR, KNOCK
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Two knock sensors are also used with the 5.7L . These are bolted into each side of the cylinder block (outside)
under the exhaust manifold.
OPERATION
OPERATION
When the knock sensor detects a knock in one of the cylinders on the corresponding bank, it sends an input

signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). In response, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders
by a scheduled amount.
Knock sensors contain a piezoelectric crystal which constantly vibrates and sends an input voltage (signal) to
the PCM while the engine operates. As the intensity of the crystal's vibration increases, the knock sensor output
voltage also increases.
The voltage signal produced by the knock sensor increases with the amplitude of vibration. The PCM receives
the knock sensor voltage signal as an input. If the signal rises above a predetermined level, the PCM will store
that value in memory and retard ignition timing to reduce engine knock. If the knock sensor voltage exceeds a
preset value, the PCM retards ignition timing for all cylinders. It is not a selective cylinder retard.
The PCM ignores knock sensor input during engine idle conditions. Once the engine speed exceeds a specified
value, knock retard is allowed.
Knock retard uses its own short term and long term memory program.
Long term memory stores previous detonation information in its battery-backed RAM. The maximum authority
that long term memory has over timing retard can be calibrated.
Short term memory is allowed to retard timing up to a preset amount under all operating conditions (as long as
RPM is above the minimum RPM) except at Wide Open Throttle (WOT). The PCM, using short term memory,
can respond quickly to retard timing when engine knock is detected. Short term memory is lost any time the
ignition key is turned off.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock sensor
performance, possibly causing improper spark control. Always use the
specified torque when installing the knock sensors.

Fig. 19: Locating Knock Sensor

Two knock sensors (1) are used. Each sensor is bolted to the outside of the cylinder block below the exhaust
manifold(s) (3).
1. Raise and support the vehicle.

2. If installed, remove the knock sensor heat shield.
3. Disconnect the knock sensor electrical connector(s) (5).
4. Remove the knock sensor retaining bolt(s) (2).
NOTE: Note the foam strip on bolt threads. This foam strip is used only to retain
the bolts to the sensors for plant assembly. It is not used as a sealant. Do
not apply any adhesive, sealant or thread locking compound to these
bolts.
5. Remove the knock sensor(s) (1) from the cylinder block.
INSTALLATION
REMOVAL

Fig. 20: Locating Knock Sensor

1. Thoroughly clean the knock sensor(s) mounting hole.

2. Install the knock sensor(s) (1) into the cylinder block.
NOTE: Over or under tightening the sensor mounting bolts will affect knock
sensors performance, possibly causing improper spark control. Always
use the specified torque when installing the knock sensors. The torque for
the knock sensor bolt is relatively light for an 8 mm bolt (2).
NOTE: Note foam strip on bolt threads. This foam is used only to retain the bolts
to sensors for plant assembly. It is not used as a sealant. Do not apply any
adhesive, sealant or thread locking compound to these bolts.
3. Position the knock sensor(s) (1), install the retaining bolt(s) (2) and tighten to 20 N.m (15 ft. lbs.).
4. Install the electrical connector(s) (5).
5. If removed, install the heat shield.

Fig. 22: Setting Spark Plug Gap - Typical

CAUTION: Never use a motorized wire wheel brush to clean spark plugs. Metallic
deposits will remain on spark plug insulator and will cause plug misfire.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean any of the spark plugs. Replace only.
1. Check and adjust the spark plug gap with a gap gauging tool (1). Refer to SPECIFICATIONS.
CAUTION: Special care should be taken when installing spark plugs into the
cylinder head spark plug wells. Be sure the plugs do not drop into
the plug wells as electrodes can be damaged.
2. Start the spark plug into the cylinder head by hand to avoid cross threading.
NOTE: Always tighten spark plugs to the specified torque. Certain engines use
torque sensitive spark plugs. Over tightening can cause distortion
resulting in a change in the spark plug gap, or a cracked porcelain
insulator.
NOTE: Spark plugs have a torque critical tapered design. Do not exceed 20 N.m
(15 ft. lbs.).

3. Tighten the spark plugs to 18 N.m (13 ft. lbs.).

4. To aid in coil installation, apply silicone based grease such as Mopar® Dielectric Grease into spark plug
end of ignition coil rubber boots. Also apply this grease to the tops of spark plugs.
5. Install the ignition coil(s) (1) Refer to COIL, IGNITION, INSTALLATION.
6. Install all necessary air filter tubing and air intake components to top of engine and to throttle body. For
(CNG), refer to BODY, AIR CLEANER, INSTALLATION, 5.7L . For gas, refer to BODY, AIR
CLEANER, INSTALLATION, 5.7L . For 6.4L, refer to BODY, AIR CLEANER, INSTALLATION,
. For diesel, refer to BODY, AIR CLEANER, INSTALLATION, 6.7L .
