Camshaft Position Sensor

To start replacing the Camshaft Position Sensor on bank 2 (Left Side) intake, first make sure the ignition is off and the power steering fluid lines/hoses are not removed from the reservoir. Take out the reservoir bolts and position the reservoir to one side so you can see the Camshaft Position Sensor. First, disconnect the cmp sensor electrical connector and then loosen and take out the cmp sensor bolt and the sensor. During installation, put the cmp sensor where it belongs and fasten it with the cmp sensor bolt at 10 n.m (89 lb-in), following the fastener notice. Attach the cmp sensor electrical connector, then put the power steering fluid reservoir back onto the engine.

The first step when replacing the bank 2 (Left Side Intake) Camshaft Position Sensor is to uninstall the engine mount strut bracket. The first step in sensor replacement requires detaching the radiator inlet hose from the water outlet. First remove the bolts that secure the power steering fluid reservoir bracket before moving it to a different position. You will disconnect the electrical connector attached to the engine wiring harness which is connected to the bank 2 intake Camshaft Position Sensor. First separate the sensor bolt from the sensor before taking out the sensor. Begin the installation process by mounting the sensor alongside the bolt with a torque level of 10 nm (89 lb in). The bank 2 intake sensor features a wiring harness electrical connector which needs to be restored throughout the process. The power steering fluid reservoir bracket should be positioned where it will stay by securing its bolts at a torque of 9 nm (8 lb in). The radiator inlet hose should be reconnected to the water outlet while the engine mount strut bracket should be installed last.

The first step to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on bank 2 (Left Side) intake requires removal of the engine mount strut bracket followed by separation of the radiator inlet hose from the water outlet. Start by removing the power steering fluid reservoir bracket bolts from their placements before moving the power steering fluid reservoir bracket to an alternate location. Installments begin by disconnecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector from the bank 2 intake camshaft position (CMP) sensor followed by removing its sensor bolt and sensor. Begin by installing the cmp sensor followed by its bolt and tighten the bolt to achieve 10 n.m (89 lb in). Install the power steering fluid reservoir bracket by connecting its engine wiring harness electrical connector to bank 2 intake cmp sensor followed by securing the bracket with bolts which should be tightened to 9 n.m (8 lb in). Reposition both the radiator inlet hose towards the water outlet as well as the engine mount strut bracket.

The initial step to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on bank 2 (Left Side) exhaust for sfi engines (2.8L, 3.6L) is turning the ignition off alongside avoiding any disconnects of power steering fluid lines/hoses from the reservoir. Furnish access by removing bolts on the power steering fluid reservoir before relocating the reservoir. To begin the replacement you must disconnect the cmp sensor electrical connector before removing the bolt securing the sensor and finally extracting the cmp sensor. To install the sensor align it with its position and proceed to apply 10 nm (89 lb in) torque on the cmp sensor bolt. Install back the power steering fluid reservoir while connecting the cmp sensor electrical connector.

The replacement of the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust requires the ignition to be turned OFF followed by removal of the front compartment sight shields when needed. You must disconnect the electrical connector from the camshaft position sensor before you remove the bolt and sensor. Begin installation by installing the CMP sensor while following the Fastener Notice guidelines. Before installing the CMP sensor bolt secure it at 10 N.m (89 lb in) torque. Connect the CMP sensor electrical connector after you reinstall front compartment sight shields when required.

The first procedure for replacing a Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust involves the removal of the fuel injector sight shield. The correct sensor installation requires marking the connectors before disconnecting multiple sensors. Although electrical connectors have interchangeable features they should always be placed correctly on their intended sensor. The right bank exhaust camshaft position sensor demands two actions before removal: disconnect its electrical connector along with removing the retaining bolt and right bank exhaust camshaft sensor . A thorough examination of the camshaft sensor O-ring should be performed for signs of damage or deterioration which will require a replacement in case of failure. The right bank exhaust camshaft position sensor installation requires engine oil lubrication of the O-ring before its proper installation with the retaining bolt which requires application of 10 Newton meters of torque (89 pound inches). Reposition the camshaft sensor electrical cable followed by installation of the fuel injector sight shield. The engine operation allows you to inspect the camshaft sensor for potential oil leakage.

The air cleaner inlet duct removal should be the first step before swapping the Camshaft Position Sensor. Plug off the engine wiring harness so you can disconnect it from the CMP sensor position. Next remove the sensor bolt and the CMP sensor. Before reusing the CMP sensor inspect its O-rings for damage which should be replaced when evidence of cracks or leakage occurs. Pre-installation of the CMP sensor requires clean engine oil for lubricating the O-rings on it. Secure the CMP sensor bolt with 10 Nm (89 lb in) torque values. Plug the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the CMP sensor before reinstalling the air cleaner inlet duct.

The first step to replace the Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust Camshaft Position Sensor requires removing the engine mount strut along with the bracket. First disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector from the bank 1 exhaust CMP sensor and subsequently remove the CMP sensor bolt and sensor. The CMP sensor along with its bolt get installed according to a torque value of 10 N.m or 89 lb in. The installation process starts with connecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the bank 1 exhaust CMP sensor and ends by replacing the engine mount strut and bracket.

Starting the replacement process of the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Intake begins with removing both the engine mount strut along with the bracket. Activate the CMP sensor electrical connector from bank 1 as you detach the intake CMP sensor bolt and sensor itself. When installing the CMP sensor fit it into place along with the bolt before tightening it to 10 N.m (89 lb in). After the engine mount strut and bracket removal, connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the bank 1 intake CMP sensor before installing the engine mount strut and bracket.
