Sensor, Camshaft Position: Removal
CAUTION:
The magnetic timing wheels must not come in contact with magnets (pickup tools, trays, etc.) or any other strong magnetic field. This will destroy the timing wheels ability to correctly relay camshaft position to the camshaft position sensor.
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors are located at the rear of the cylinder head covers and are bolted to the cylinder head.
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
- If removing the LH CMP sensor, first remove the upper intake manifold (2). Refer to MANIFOLD, INTAKE, REMOVAL .
- If removing the RH CMP sensor, remove the air cleaner resonator. Refer to RESONATOR, AIR CLEANER, REMOVAL
.
- Disconnect the electrical connector (1) from the CMP sensor.
- Loosen the sensor mounting bolt (2).
- Pull the sensor and mounting bolt from the cylinder head cover.
- The O-ring seal (1) can be reused if not damaged.
