Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust on GMC Acadia?
A: The first step to replace the Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust Camshaft Position Sensor requires removing the engine mount strut along with the bracket. First disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector from the bank 1 exhaust CMP sensor and subsequently remove the CMP sensor bolt and sensor. The CMP sensor along with its bolt get installed according to a torque value of 10 N.m or 89 lb in. The installation process starts with connecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the bank 1 exhaust CMP sensor and ends by replacing the engine mount strut and bracket.
Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on GMC Yukon?
A: The replacement process of Camshaft Position Sensors requires first cleaning around the CMP sensor to stop objects from entering the engine compartment. Start by raising and supporting the vehicle before taking out the engine shield. The engine wiring harness electrical connector needs detachment from the CMP sensor wire harness while the CMP sensor wire harness electrical connector should be separated from the CMP actuator magnet. The crankshaft balancer opening allows access to the CMP sensor wire harness bolt which can be loosened by 2 turns with a box wrench. After loosening, you can remove both remaining bolts to lower the vehicle. A flat-bladed tool will help unlock the CMP sensor wire harness electrical connector retainer that detaches it from the CMP sensor while you remove the wire harness and sensor together with its O-ring seal. First check the O-ring seal for damages. If it remains intact you can apply clean engine oil to the seal before placing it onto the sensor. Install the CMP sensor first onto the front cover while proceeding with second installation of the CMP sensor wire harness. Before moving on with installation, ensure complete retention of the CMP sensor by the connector's retainer when connecting the electrical connector of the CMP sensor wire harness. When the vehicle reaches the correct height raise it again to install both rear CMP sensor wire harness bolts and torque them to 12 Nm (106 lb in). Complete the fixture of the CMP sensor wire harness bolt through the crankshaft balancer opening by using a box wrench prior to connecting the CMP sensor wire harness electrical connector to the CMP actuator magnet and the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the CMP sensor wire harness. Finally, install the engine shield.
Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: The replacement process of the Camshaft Position Sensor begins with disconnecting the engine wiring harness electrical connector from its connection to the camshaft position (CMP) sensor wiring harness jumper. Next, remove the Water Pump. You should begin by extracting the cmp sensor bolt before removing the sensor together with its wiring harness jumper from the engine front cover. First remove the cmp sensor from the wiring harness jumper and afterwards disconnect the cmp sensor wiring harness jumper from its junction with the cmp sensor. Before using an existing cmp sensor for reinstallation install a new o-ring sealing component on the sensor. The cmp sensor attachment should go onto the wiring harness jumper before connecting the cmp sensor wiring harness jumper to its location. Apply clean engine oil to the o-ring after which position the cmp sensor along with its wiring harness jumper on the front engine cover yet follow all fastener safety instructions. Attach the cmp sensor bolt while torquing it to 10 nm (89 lb in). The last step is to reconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector to the cmp sensor harness jumper before reinstalling the Water Pump.
