System Operation Description: away from the surface of the flywheel by a small

The EIS control module has the ability to calibrate
the mechanical differences between the Top Center
(TC) of the flywheel and the TC of the timing gear on
the left rear camshaft gear. A magnetic transducer
signals the TC of the flywheel to the control module
when the TC hole on the flywheel passes beneath the
transducer. The engine speed/timing sensor signals
the TC of the timing gear to the control module. Any
offset between the TC of the flywheel and the TC of
the timing gear is stored into memory.
NOTICE
The timing hole in the flywheel must not be aligned
with the hole for the transducer. The transducer will
be damaged on engine start-up if the transducer is
installed through both holes. Rotate the flywheel for
more than 10 degrees before or after the TC position
in order to move the flywheel hole away from the hole
for the transducer. Always confirm that the holes are
not aligned.
