2026 spec sheet
| Parameter | Koeep 2026 spec |
|---|---|
| Sensing element | AMR (anisotropic magnetoresistive) bridge on a silicon-germanium (SiGe) substrate, with on-die temperature compensation |
| Output protocol | Open-collector digital + SENT (single-wire), SAE J2716:2026 compliant |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +150°C continuous, +165°C transient |
| Air-gap tolerance | 0.2 to 2.5 mm |
| Minimum cranking detection | 45 RPM |
| Housing material | PPS-GF40 (40% glass-fiber polyphenylene sulfide) |
| Ingress protection | IP69K, dual-rib silicone/fluorocarbon radial seal, Shore A70 |
| EMI compliance | CISPR 25:2026 Class 5 |
| Functional safety | ISO 26262 ASIL-B amendments |

Next to the Honda OEM benchmark (37840-RCA-A01), the OEM Hall-effect part is rated −40°C to +130°C, 0.5 to 1.8 mm air gap, 60 RPM cranking minimum, IP67, and CISPR 25 Class 3, while SAE J2716:2026 industry minimums sit at −40°C to +125°C, IP67, and Class 3. The Class 5 EMI rating prevents cross-talk with adjacent knock, MAF, and O2 sensor circuits.
What the AMR element changes for diagnostics
Legacy Hall-effect sensors use bulk-silicon transducers with limited thermal stability above 125°C. This sensor runs an AMR bridge on a SiGe substrate instead, with signal-to-noise up 6 dB over conventional Hall cells and on-die temperature compensation replacing external thermistor networks prone to solder-joint fatigue.
Tooth-edge detection holds at cranking speeds down to 45 RPM, a common cold-start pain point on high-mileage J35 engines. The wider 0.2 to 2.5 mm air-gap tolerance also cuts sensitivity to mounting-surface corrosion and thermal expansion of the aluminum timing cover.
Seal and connector
The dual-rib silicone radial seal (Shore A70) has a fluorocarbon outer lip and an IP69K rating against hot engine oil, coolant mist, and the alkaline degreasers used in automated engine wash-downs. The three-pin USCAR connector uses tin-plated terminals with 10 N retention after 50 mate/demate cycles, targeting field reports of intermittent P0339 (CKP) and P0344 (CMP) codes traced to terminal fretting corrosion in coastal and humid climates.
DTC quick reference: CKP and CMP fault mapping
When the ECM/PCM sees a position-signal deviation outside calibrated thresholds, whether on the J35A in a 2012 Acura MDX or the J35Z VCM engine in a 2018 Honda Odyssey, it logs one of the codes below. The Koeep sensor is pre-validated against the full set.
| DTC Code | Definition | Common root cause (J-Series) | Sensor-related? |
|---|---|---|---|
| P0335 | CKP sensor A circuit malfunction | Open/short in circuit, failed element, damaged reluctor teeth | ✓ |
| P0336 | CKP sensor A range/performance | Excessive air gap, magnetic debris on tip, chain stretch | ✓ |
| P0339 | CKP sensor A circuit intermittent | Terminal fretting, harness chafe, thermal intermittent | ✓ |
| P0340 | CMP sensor A circuit malfunction (Bank 1) | Failed sensor, open 3-wire harness, 5V VREF short to ground | ✓ |
| P0341 | CMP sensor A range/performance | Installation depth, VTC actuator fault, stretched belt or chain | ✓* |
| P0344 | CMP sensor A circuit intermittent | Connector contact, thermal shutdown in heat soak | ✓ |
| P0345 | CMP sensor A circuit (Bank 2) | Radiator-side failure, heat-related on transverse J35/J37 | ✓ |
| P0349 | CMP A intermittent (Bank 2) | Common on Odyssey and Pilot from rear-bank heat | ✓ |
* P0341 can also point to mechanical timing problems independent of the sensor. Compare waveforms with an oscilloscope before replacing the sensor alone.
Verification: standards, testing, service life
Materials and endurance
The PPS-GF40 housing meets SAE J2467:2026 chemical resistance requirements for underhood exposure to engine oil, ATF, power steering fluid, coolant, and brake fluid. Accelerated life testing shows no mechanical degradation after 3,000 thermal shock cycles from −40°C to +150°C per ISO 16750-4:2026 Table 6, and the seal holds IP69K through 1,500 psi steam-jet cleaning at 80°C with the nozzle 100 mm away.
Validation and service data
Validation ran on a Bosch FSA 740 oscilloscope with Honda reference fixtures: a 60-2 tooth crank reluctor wheel and a 4+1 cam trigger wheel. Coverage includes the P0365 to P0369 and P0390 to P0394 bank-specific CMP ranges Honda uses on V6 platforms.
IHS Markit 2026 VIO data counts about 8.2 million Pilots, Odysseys, and Acura MDX, RL, and TL units still in active service across North America. With one CKP plus up to two CMP sensors per vehicle, that is more than 12 million sensor positions.
Plan preventative replacement at 120,000 to 150,000 miles, alongside timing belt service on the J-series interference engine. If a 2005–2012 RL is on your lift for that job, see our guide to rear ceramic brake pads for the 2005–2012 Acura RL.
Installation notes for Odyssey and Pilot VCM engines
Bank 1 access: on 2005–2022 Odyssey and Pilot models with J35Z/Y VCM engines, the rear-bank (Bank 1) camshaft position sensor sits near the firewall with limited clearance. Use a 10 mm flex-head ratcheting wrench.
Disconnect the battery negative terminal before the swap so the ECM can run its hard-reset idle-air and cam-phase relearn on first startup. Torque the retaining bolt to 9.8 N·m (87 in-lb). Do not apply sealant or threadlocker to the sensor body or O-ring; the radial seal is designed for dry installation.
FAQ: J-series CKP and CMP troubleshooting
My 2016 Honda Pilot (J35Y1) cranks but will not start. No spark, no injector pulse, code P0335. Is the CKP sensor the definite culprit?
On 2016+ J35Y-series direct-injected engines, P0335 cuts both ignition and fuel delivery as a fail-safe, so the symptom fits. Check the three wires at the CKP connector before condemning the sensor: key on, engine off.
Pin 1 (VCC) should read 5.0V ±0.25V. Pin 2 (Signal) floats at about 0V or about 5V depending on reluctor tooth alignment. Pin 3 (GND) needs <0.1 Ω to chassis ground. Correct voltages with no RPM signal on a scope during cranking means the sensor is done. The 45 RPM floor covers slow cranks from weak starters or cold batteries.
I replaced the camshaft sensor on my Acura MDX (J37A) and still get P0341. The sensor is new. What else causes this?
P0341 (Range/Performance) after a swap is rarely a second bad sensor. On the J37A the usual non-sensor causes: installation depth (a proud sensor widens the air gap), a VTC actuator lock-pin failure that lets cam phase wander at low RPM, or timing chain stretch beyond 4° of cam retard.
Watch CMP/CKP phase correlation on a scan tool. Values beyond ±5° from the learned base indicate a mechanical timing problem. The Koeep 0.2 to 2.5 mm air-gap tolerance adds margin against installation-depth errors.
Will this sensor run with Honda's Variable Cylinder Management without triggering false misfire codes?
Yes. Weak aftermarket CKP sensors on J35Z and J35Y VCM Pilots and Odysseys have a record of false P0300 to P0306 misfire codes during cylinder deactivation and reactivation, caused by edge-jitter above 3% of the tooth period.
The Koeep AMR element holds edge-jitter below 1.2%, inside the ±2.5% window Honda PCM firmware uses to separate real misfire from sensor noise. Validation covered 500+ VCM transition cycles on a 2018 Odyssey test mule. The full report is on the product page.
Can one sensor cover both the camshaft and crankshaft positions, or are they different parts?
On most J-series V6 engines covered here, the CKP and CMP sensors are physically identical: 3-wire, 5V-referenced, open-collector digital output. Honda often uses the same base sensor in both locations, with bracket or flange differences on certain model years.
The Koeep unit is validated for both CKP and CMP duty. Match your old sensor's shape and connector keying before ordering. Bank 1 (rear, firewall side) and Bank 2 (front, radiator side) cam sensors are identical.
Should I replace these sensors preventatively, and when?
At 120,000 to 150,000 miles, alongside timing belt service on the J-series interference engine. Both jobs share the same corner of the engine bay.
Is the sensor ready for 2026 electronics like CAN-FD and SENT?
Yes. Output works with the CAN-FD and CAN-XL bus architectures in 2026 Honda and Acura platforms, compliant with SAE J2716:2026 SENT and ISO 26262 ASIL-B amendments, with sub-0.1° crank-angle resolution for i-VTEC/VCM and direct-injection timing.
