Camshaft Position Sensor
INSTALLATION (Used Sensor)
CAUTION: When installing used camshaft position sensor, the sensor depth must be adjusted to prevent contact with cam gear.
1. Inspect face of the sensor. If any of the rib material remains, it must cut down flush to face of sensor with a razor knife. Remove only enough of
the rib material to make face flat. Do not remove more material than necessary as damage to sensor may result.
NOTE: Never use an electric grinder on a camshaft position sensor.
2. Obtain a peel-and-stick paper spacer. These special spacers are used as a tool to set sensor depth.
3. Clean face of sensor and apply paper spacer.
4. Apply a small amount of clean motor oil to sensor o-ring.
5. Install the sensor into the timing cover with a slight rocking motion until paper spacer contacts the cam gear.
6. Scratch a scribe line into timing cover to indicate sensor depth.
7. Remove sensor from timing cover.
8. Remove paper spacer from the sensor.
9. Again, apply a small amount of clean motor oil to sensor o-ring.
10. Install the sensor into the timing cover with a slight rocking motion until sensor is aligned with scribe line.
11. Install sensor mounting bolt and torque to 6 Nm (50 in-lbs).
12. Connect sensor electrical connector.
