Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust on Cadillac CTS?
A: The replacement of the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust requires the ignition to be turned OFF followed by removal of the front compartment sight shields when needed. You must disconnect the electrical connector from the camshaft position sensor before you remove the bolt and sensor. Begin installation by installing the CMP sensor while following the Fastener Notice guidelines. Before installing the CMP sensor bolt secure it at 10 N.m (89 lb in) torque. Connect the CMP sensor electrical connector after you reinstall front compartment sight shields when required.
Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on Cadillac Escalade?
A: The first step to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor (except RPOs LY2, LC9, Ly5, and LMG) is to clean the cmp sensor area to keep foreign matter from accessing the engine compartment. Support the vehicle before disconnecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector which is connected to the cmp sensor wire harness. The crankshaft Harmonic Balancer continues in its original position since the instructions show its removal for visual purposes. The first step involves removing two cmp sensor wire harness bolts (738) while loosening the top bolt using a box wrench inserted through the Harmonic Balancer opening and turning it two turns. Unplug the electrical connectors of the cmp sensor wire harness from both the cmp sensor and the cmp actuator magneto before removing the cmp sensor wire harness (737) with cmp sensor (703) and o-ring seal (704). The o-ring must have intact condition before cleaning it with engine oil then placing the sensor. Begin front cover installation of cmp sensor (703) while the cmp sensor wire harness (737) gets positioned after. After joining the cmp sensor wire harness electrical connectors to the sensor and magneto of the cmp actuator install two cmp sensor wire harness bolts (738) and torque them to 12 nm (106 lb in). You should loosely tighten the top cmp sensor wire harness bolt by hand followed by box wrench usage through the Harmonic Balancer opening to achieve an extra 1/4 turn of torque (90 degrees). Connect the engine wiring harness electrical connector with the cmp sensor wire harness before lowering the vehicle.
Q: How to service and repair the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Intake on Cadillac XLR?
A: The first step in replacing the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Intake requires removal of the engine sight shield. Before removing various sensors from their connectors please mark each connection point to aid in proper sensor installation because the wiring components are exchangeable but they need to be attached to exact sensor locations. Use tools to disconnect the right bank intake camshaft position sensor electrical connector followed by removing its retaining bolt and sensor. Test the new camshaft position sensor O-ring for any indication of wear or damage before installation and replace it if faulty. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring before you install the right bank intake camshaft position sensor by using the retaining bolt which should be tightened to 10 N.m (89 lb in). After reconnecting the connector you should turn the engine on and verify that the sensor does not leak oil. You must reinstall the engine sight shield as the last step.
