Camshaft Position Sensor

Service of the Camshaft Position Sensor requires users to remove both the coolant recovery reservoir and Drive Belt. The first step requires disconnecting the electrical connector from the Camshaft Position Sensor before you remove the cmp sensor retaining screw. The cmp sensor needs removal from the position where it sits on the engine front cover. The cmp sensor installation requires placing the device onto the engine front cover while maintaining the fastener notice in service precautions for safe fastening. Affix the Camshaft Position Sensor through its retaining bolt while tightening it to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Replace the Drive Belt together with the coolant recovery reservoir after you reconnect the electrical connector to the Camshaft Position Sensor.

A proper servicing of the Camshaft Position Sensor follows two initial steps which include removing the coolant recovery reservoir and Drive Belt. The electrical connector should be disconnected from the Camshaft Position Sensor and the cmp sensor retaining screw needs removal. Extract the cmp sensor from the position it holds on the engine front cover. The service procedure requires placing the cmp sensor onto the engine front cover while following the fastener notice in service precautions. Fasten and tighten the Camshaft Position Sensor with its retaining bolt to 10 n.m (89 lb in). The electrical connector must be reattached to the Camshaft Position Sensor followed by installation of the Drive Belt and coolant recovery reservoir.

The service procedure for the Camshaft Position Sensor begins with coolant recovery reservoir removal along with the Drive Belt's removal. You must remove the camshaft position (CMP) sensor retaining screw followed by disconnecting the electrical connector from the Camshaft Position Sensor. The service technician should first extract the cmp sensor off the engine front cover. Install the cmp sensor by placing it onto the engine front cover, tighten the retaining bolt to 10 n.m (89 lb in) according to the fastener notice in service precautions. Complete the maintenance by attaching the electrical connector to the Camshaft Position Sensor followed by reinstallation of the Drive Belt and returning the coolant recovery reservoir to its original position.

Replace the camshaft position (CMP) sensor by starting with coolant recovery reservoir and Drive Belt detachment. The electrical connector must get disconnected from the Camshaft Position Sensor followed by removal of the retaining screw which positions the sensor. You must extract the Camshaft Position Sensor which is situated on the engine front cover. The new Camshaft Position Sensor should be positioned onto the engine front cover while following the service precautions fastener notice. You must secure the sensor using the retaining bolt while tightening it to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Proceed with the installation by first reattaching the electrical connector to the Camshaft Position Sensor then replacing the Drive Belt and coolant recovery reservoir.

Service of the Camshaft Position Sensor begins with ignition shut-off followed by disconnecting the electrical connector from the sensor. The service of Camshaft Position Sensor begins with removing its retaining screw before you extract the sensor from the engine front cover. The installation process requires the sensor to be placed onto the engine front cover following the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. First connect the electrical connector to the camshaft position sensor before tightening the retaining bolt to 5 N.m (44 lb in).

Starting the process to service the Camshaft Position Sensor requires turning off engine ignition followed by removing the serpentine Drive Belt. The access to the cmp begins when powering down the Power Steering Pump then removing the electrical connector from the sensor while unfastening the bolt so you can remove the sensor. Assess the sensor for deterioration along with checking for breaks and moisture leaks during inspections that do not contain sensor replacement. After cleaning the o-ring with engine oil you should install the sensor but replace a damaged o-ring before installation. Put the Camshaft Position Sensor in place before you fasten its retaining bolt with 10 n.m torque (88 lb in force). After connecting the sensor electrical connector the Power Steering Pump gets installed with the reinstallation of the serpentine Drive Belt.

First turn off the ignition then remove the serpentine belt and proceed to take off the Water Pump Pulley. Vehicle lifting caution must be observed at this point before using the lift. The next task involves taking out the right front splash shield while also disconnecting the electrical connector that serves the Camshaft Position Sensor. First remove the retaining screw then extract the camshaft position (CMP) sensor from its place on the engine front cover. To install the Camshaft Position Sensor you must place it on the engine front cover and fasten it with the retaining bolt at 5 n.m (44 lb in). Place back the serpentine belt followed by reinstalling the Water Pump Pulley while tightening its bolts to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Reattach the electrical connector to the Camshaft Position Sensor. The right front splash shield should now be replaced along with repeating the vehicle lifting caution process before slowly lowering the vehicle.

Secure it with the retaining bolt, tightening it to 5 N.m (44 lb in).
