• Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on 2001 Cadillac Catera?

  A: Sensor replacement for the camshaft position (CMP) starts with disconnecting its wiring harness. Next the A/C low pressure line bracket requires removal as well as the wiring harness hold down bolts which secure the intake plenum to expose the sensor. Uninstall the CMP sensor fastening bolt before removing the sensor combined with the O-ring seal from the camshaft cover. Begin sensor installation by providing an effective cleanup for the CMP sensor mating areas and the surface of the camshaft cover. The installation of the CMP sensor needs a fresh O-ring seal placed inside the camshaft cover while following the Service Precautions Fastener Notice. Fasten the CMP sensor with the fastening bolt until it reaches a torque of 8 N.m (71 lb in). The process includes reinstalling hold-down bolts to both the wiring harness for the intake plenum and to the A/C low pressure line bracket. Finish the installation by attaching the wiring harness to the CMP sensor with accurate routing of cables.
