Camshaft Position Sensor - Installation

5.7L

CAUTION: Install the camshaft position (CMP) sensor utilizing a slight rotating (side-to-side) motion. 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.

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






NOTE: Lubricate the CMP sensor O-ring with clean engine oil to aid in the installation.

1. Install the CMP sensor (1) into the timing chain cover (2) while using a slight rotating motion.
2. Install the retaining bolt (3) and tighten to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.).
3. Connect the CMP sensor electrical connector (4).





4. Position the engine cover (1) and secure the retaining grommets onto the ball studs.





5. Connect the negative battery cable and tighten nut (1) to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.).
