Camshaft Position Sensor - Installation






5.7L/6.1L






CAUTION: Install the camshaft position (CMP) sensor utilizing a slight rotating (side-to-side) motion. Make sure the CMP sensor is fully seated. Do not drive the CMP sensor into the bore with the mounting screw. This may cause the CMP sensor to be incorrectly seated causing a faulty signal or no signal at all.

NOTE: Lubricate the CMP sensor O-ring with clean engine oil to aid in the installation.

1. Install the CMP sensor (1) into the timing chain cover (2) utilizing a slight rotating motion.

CAUTION: Before tightening the sensor mounting bolt, be sure the sensor is completely flush to the timing chain cover. If the sensor is not flush, damage to sensor mounting tang may result.

2. Install the mounting bolt (3) and tighten to 12 Nm (106 in. lbs.)
3. Connect the electrical connector (4) to the CMP sensor.
4. Connect the negative battery cable and tighten nut to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.).
