Camshaft Position Sensor

Service of the camshaft position sensor requires the initial step to be the removal of the air conditioning hose retaining nut followed by the power assisted steering hose retaining nut. First remove the dipstick and next complete the removal of the retaining studs on the coolant hose and dipstick tube and lifting eye bolts. The exhaust manifold heat shield removal and disconnecting the camshaft position sensor electrical connector must be completed before sensor removal. Reverse all steps done during dismounting to install the parts.

A proper service of the camshaft position (CMP) sensor begins with disconnecting both the battery ground cable and the electrical connector of the CMP sensor. The bolt securing the CMP sensor should first be removed so you can extract the sensor from its position. Ensure to tighten the bolt at 7 Nm (62 lb-in) during the new CMP sensor installation step while also checking for any damage to the O-ring for possible replacement. Clean engine oil should be used to lubricate the CMP O-ring seal after which you can reinstall the parts through the opposite order to finish the installation process.

The Camshaft Position Sensor service starts with disconnecting the ground cable of the battery. You must disconnect both the electrical connector and the bolt from the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor. The procedure for installing the new sensor is identical to the removal sequence in reverse order.

Service of the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor begins with separating the battery ground cable and CMP sensor electrical connector. The CMP sensor needs its bolt removed before operators can remove the sensor from the system. It is essential to secure the new CMP sensor bolt at 7 Nm (62 lb-in) while checking the O-ring seal for damage and performing a necessary replacement of the seal. Engine oil of high quality should be applied to the CMP O-ring seal before installing it. Complete the installation by undoing the procedures in the reverse order.

A service of the Camshaft Position Sensor should begin by disconnecting the battery ground cable. The first step requires removing the accelerator cable snow shield while disconnecting the accelerator cable and speed control actuator cable together with the throttle return spring from the throttle body lever. The accelerator cable bracket should be set aside after bolt removal while the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor can be taken out by disconnecting the electrical connector and removing its screws. You should perform installation by eliminating the reverse actions of removal.

Reverse all steps done during dismounting to install the parts.

The service procedure for the Camshaft Position Sensor begins with disconnection of the electrical connector from the sensor position. After disconnecting the electrical connector from the sensor you should remove the Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP). The installation method requires following the opposite steps for reattaching the CMP to its position.

Remove the bolt securing the CMP sensor and take out the sensor.

Reverse the steps taken during removal.

Remove the bolt securing the CMP sensor.

Disconnect the electrical connector and remove the screws to take out the CMP sensor.

Reverse the removal procedure to complete the installation.

Remove the bolts and position the accelerator cable bracket and cables aside.

Although the upper intake manifold is removed for clarity, it is important to release the fuel charging wiring harness from the valve cover studs and position it away from the CMP sensor.
