Camshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the connector and remove the Camshaft Position Sensor from the camshaft synchronizer.
3. Install in reverse order of removal.
Torque: 2.5-3.5 Nm (26-36 kgf/cm 23-30 in.lbs.)
REMOVAL NOTE:
1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
2. Remove the camshaft position sensor.
3. Remove synchronizer mounting bolt and synchronizer.
NOTE: The oil pump driveshaft might come out with the camshaft synchronizer. If so, retrieve the oil pump drive shaft before proceeding.
INSTALLATION NOTE:
CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft or the camshaft during the removal and installation procedure or the fuel system timing will be out of time with
the engine and possibly cause engine damage.
1. Rotate the (1) crankshaft until the No.1 cylinder is at TDC of the compression stroke and the (2) TDC mark lines up with the (3) timing mark.
CAUTION: A Syncro Positioning Tool must be used during the installation of the replacement synchronizer assembly. Failure to follow this
procedure will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.
CAUTION: It is very important to coat the gear on the camshaft synchronizer with SAE-5W30 engine oil prior to installation. Failure to do so
could result in gear failure upon engine start-up.
