• Q: How to service the camshaft position sensor on 2000 Cadillac Catera?

  A: Disconnection of the wiring harness from the sensor stands as the initial step to service the camshaft position (CMP) sensor . After removing the bracket for the A/C low pressure line the technician should unfasten the holds that secure the wiring harness to the intake plenum for procedure access on the sensor. First separate the fastening bolt for the CMP sensor before removing both sensor and seal from the camshaft cover. The CMP sensor installation requires complete surface cleaning between itself and the camshaft cover. The CMP sensor needs installation together with a new O-ring seal into the camshaft cover and maintenance of proper fastening procedures according to the Fastener Notice in Service Precautions. Tighten the fastening bolt of the CMP sensor until it reaches 8 N.m (71 lb in). Put back all hold-down bolts that connect the wiring harness to the intake plenum and A/C low pressure line bracket before attaching the wiring harness to the CMP sensor along with proper cable path considerations.
