2006 Ford Taurus Camshaft Position Sensor Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Service the Camshaft Position Sensor on 2006 Ford Taurus?

  A: Service of the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor requires starting with battery ground cable removal while draining coolant. You should first remove two pin-type retainers together with the accelerator control shield before disconnecting the accelerator cable as well as the speed control actuator cable and throttle return spring from the throttle body lever. Position the accelerator cable bracket and cables after removing the two bolts then tighten them to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft). Separate the degas bottle hose then place it aside followed by removing the spark plug wire retainer. Workers must detach the valve cover stud-held fuel charging wiring harness before repositioning it away from the CMP sensor area. Disengage the electrical connection of the CMP sensor then uninstall the two mounting screws protecting the sensor. The installation process starts with reversing all removal steps while making sure the fuel charging wiring harness stays properly attached to the valve cover studs. The last sequence includes cooling system filling and bleeding.
