Camshaft Position Sensor - Installation






5.7L / 6.4L






CAUTION: Install the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor using a slight rotating motion (side to side). 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.

1. Using a slight rotating motion, carefully install the CMP sensor (1) into the timing cover (2).

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

2. Install the CMP mounting bolt (3) and tighten to 12 Nm (9 ft. 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.).
