• Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust on 2008 Cadillac XLR?

  A: You should first take off the engine sight shield before replacing the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust. Be sure to label the connectors when you remove multiple sensors, so you install them in the correct order, because the electrical connectors are the same but have different functions. After taking off the electrical connector from the right bank exhaust camshaft position sensor, loosen the retaining bolt and take off the sensor. Look at the camshaft position sensor O-ring for any signs of wear before installation and change it if needed. Put a drop of engine oil on the O-ring, then fit the right bank exhaust camshaft position sensor and tighten its bolt to 10 N.m (89 lb.-ft). Attach the electrical connector back to the camshaft position sensor, start the engine, and look for any oil leaks at the sensor. Once you have finished, fit the engine sight shield back into place.
