Camshaft Position Sensor

The Camshaft Position Sensor service requires a first step of turning off ignition and removing the serpentine Drive Belt. First disconnect the sensor electrical connector before removing the Power Steering Pump and its attaching bolt to take out the sensor. Perform an inspection of the sensor for wear alongside assessment of cracks and leakage when you do not plan to replace it. Clean engine oil should be used to lubricate the o-ring before sensor installation while replacing any damaged o-rings. Place the Camshaft Position Sensor in position before tightening its retaining bolt to 10 n.m (8 lb ft). Reengineer the electrical connection of the sensor after which the Power Steering Pump returns and the serpentine Drive Belt gets reinstalled.

The starting point for servicing the Camshaft Position Sensor requires users to disable the ignition system. The first task involves removing the Power Steering Pump along with disconnecting the sensor electrical connector. The service involves bolting attachment removal and sensor extraction. Begin by checking the sensor o-ring for damage when the replacement is unnecessary. The service process starts with engine oil lubrication of the o-ring before replacing it when signs of damage appear. You should install the Camshaft Position Sensor followed by torquing its retaining bolt to 8 n.m (71 lb in). Electrical connection of the sensor should follow a return of the Power Steering Pump to its original position.

The service procedure for the Camshaft Position Sensor requires turning off engine ignition before starting. The sensor servicing process starts with disconnecting the Power Steering Pump before removing the attaching bolt which frees up the sensor. Check the sensor o-ring for damage because the sensor replacement decision may determine inspection steps. Clean engine oil should be used to lubricate the o-ring before sensor installation while replacement is needed for any damaged o-rings. Put in the Camshaft Position Sensor while tightening its retaining bolt to 8 n.m (71 lb in). The conclusion of the repair procedure includes connecting the electrical connector to the sensor before reinstalling the Power Steering Pump.

The first step to service the Camshaft Position Sensor requires users to turn the ignition off followed by removing the serpentine Drive Belt. The sensor electrical connection requires disconnection before removing its bolt and sensor. A sensor inspection must be performed to check for wear as well as look for any signs of cracks or leakage when you do not plan to replace the sensor. Clean engine oil should be used to lubricate the o-ring before installing the new sensor and a replacement should be performed if the o-ring shows damage. Screw in the retaining bolt of the Camshaft Position Sensor with 10 nm (8 lb ft) torque. After reinstalling the serpentine Drive Belt you must connect the sensor electrical connector.

Service of the Camshaft Position Sensor starts when you turn off the ignition and remove the serpentine Drive Belt. Detach the sensor electrical connector while extracting its bolt and sensor from the mounting location. Check the sensor for any signs of damage if it will remain in place. Wear patterns and cracks or leaking should be examined at this time. Before installation you must apply clean engine oil to the o-ring then discard it for replacement if there is damage present. Add the Camshaft Position Sensor to its place before torquing the retaining bolt to 10 n.m (8 lb ft). After reattaching the serpentine Drive Belt connect the sensor electrical connector.
