I'm really having trouble finding clear documentation on the Vortec Cam sensor wiring.
I have found one reference in a google image search that says A=grnd, B=Signal, C=Voltage. Then I found another one that says the wiring was A=12V, B=Grnd, C=Sensor... I found one reference that the Vortec cam sensor takes a 8V signal? Right now I have it wired A=grnd, B=Signal (cam input), C=12V. I am getting 7V on the signal wire when the cam sensor is triggered, and 0.5v when it is not being triggered.
Will this damage the ECU? Since it is a square wave can I just adjust my pots to compensate? Should I be swapping the Signal and 12V? Should I supply the voltage with the 5Vref instead of straight 12V?
Thank you for your help.
Vortec Cam sending 7V to cam input? too high?

The cam input should be good for +100V or so.
