2001 df60 cmp code replaced sensor same code where next.

Alarm code for cmp sensor. Replaced cmp sensor same alarm code still emitted. Any ideals where to go next to clear warning code.

what is a cmp sensor?

did you clear the code and it came back in?

maybe there is a wiring/connection problem, not the sensor itself bad

Cmp is the cam sensor also known as the ignition sensor

Hi John,

I had a similar problem this year and went through quite a process trying a few things including replacing to sensor with no luck. I ended up removing, wire wheeling, and reinstalling my cam gear and the problem went away. Technically I put a different cam gear on as I have a parts motor - but aside from the location of the notches they seemed identical. Problem has been gone ever since. FYI you need to run the motor to remove the code - if the problem is gone it will alarm with key on the first time, then clear up and shouldn't come back.

interesting,
have any idea what the CMP letters stand for?
Maybe
C - cam
M - ?
P - position

yam: it's automobilespeak (obd ii).

CMP = Camshaft Position Sensor

and is differentiated from

CKP = Crankshaft Position Sensor

I agree with you...it could be a CIRCUIT issue.

thanks
CM stands for camshaft
and CK = crankshaft
makes some sense now
