Camshaft Position Sensor




Engine Control Components - Exploded View





Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor

NOTE: The upper fan shroud must be removed to perform this procedure. For additional information, refer to Engine Cooling - Diesel Engine Service and Repair.

NOTE: Lubricate the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor O-ring seal with clean engine oil prior to installation.









Removal and Installation

NOTICE: Do not use silicone based sprays or lubricants on any components installed onto or around the diesel exhaust system or intake air distribution and filtering system. Silicone reacts with the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) sensor and may cause permanent damage to the NOx sensor.

NOTICE: Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position prior to working on the electronic engine controls or damage to the vehicle may occur.

1. Refer to the procedures and/or exploded views for any Warnings, Notices, Notes, Materials, Specifications, and Special Tools. Items in the exploded views may not be listed in order of removal.
