Rotate the crankshaft until you can observe the position of the camshaft position sensor reluctor. The reluctor (Illustration 3) should be centered in
the drive slot without a noticeable gap at either side. Illustration 3, for example, shows a gap at the arrow meaning that the reluctor is advanced. If
the gap were at the other side, the reluctor would be retarded. If the reluctor is not positioned properly, proceed to step 9, otherwise proceed to
step 12, then refer to DTC summaries manual for other possible causes for DTC P1396.

Use suitable locking pliers to hold the camshaft on the unfinished area between cylinders 3 and 4, at the cast-in flat projection.

11.
Remove the locking pliers from the camshaft.

Install new spark plug seals and a camshaft cover gasket (Illustration 4).
