2009 Cadillac XLR Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Intake on 2009 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The first step when replacing the Bank 1 Right Side Intake Camshaft Position Sensor requires removing the engine sight shield. Sensory connector replacement requires connecting label marks for proper installation because these connectors possess interchangeability yet need specific sensor correspondences. Unplug the electrical connector that belongs to the right bank intake camshaft position sensor before using a wrench to remove its retaining bolt and sensor. The O-ring on the camshaft position sensor needs to be inspected for signs of damage or wear beforehand. A new sensor O-ring must replace an inadequately functioning one during the installation process. The right bank intake camshaft position sensor must be installed with engine oil on its O-ring before attaching the retaining bolt which should be fastened to 10 Nm (89 lb in). Check the sensor for leaks after plugging in the electrical connector when operating the engine. The last step includes returning the engine sight shield to its position.
