The camshaft position sensor on this vehicle is attached to the timing chain cover. Note that replacement will require a PCM re-learn procedure in order for the engine to work properly. These sensors MUST be directly tested (or observed via a graphing scan tool) prior to removal in order to confirm actual mis-operation. Replacing the sensor simply on the basis of a diagnostic trouble code is not a recommended practice because there are other faults, such as merely loose wiring, that can "appear" to be sensor mis-operation. If you desire that this be checked out, please request an engine diagnostic. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic because we want you to make the most of your repair dollars and help you to get the best possible results.
