• Q: How to replace the left bank exhaust camshaft position sensor on 2007 Cadillac XLR?

  A: You need to remove the engine sight shield before starting the replacement of the left bank exhaust camshaft position sensor. Multiple sensor disconnections require marking the connectors to achieve proper installation since the electrical connectors are interchangeable but must be fitted on their correct sensor. The procedure starts by disconnecting the electrical connector of the left bank exhaust camshaft position sensor followed by sensor bolt removal and sensor extraction. You must check the O-ring condition for any signs of wear or damage before installing new one if needed. Some engine oil should be used to lubricate the O-ring before installing the left bank exhaust camshaft position sensor that will be tightened to 10 N.m (89 lb in) using its retaining bolt. After connecting the electrical connector the engine should run to verify no oil leakage is present near the sensor. Reinstall the engine sight shield as the last step.
