Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Replacement - Bank 1 (Right) Intake
CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) ACTUATOR SOLENOID REPLACEMENT - BANK 1 (RIGHT) INTAKE
REMOVAL PROCEDURE
1. Remove the power steering reservoir bracket.
2. Disconnect the actuator solenoid electrical connector.
3. Remove the right intake camshaft position actuator solenoid bolts.
4. Remove the right intake camshaft position actuator solenoid.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1. To allow for camshaft position actuator solenoid to camshaft position actuator oil control valve alignment, DO NOT install the NEW camshaft position actuator solenoid alignment plugs at this time.
IMPORTANT: The camshaft position actuator solenoid must be precisely aligned to the camshaft position actuator oil control valve on the end of the camshaft. This is accomplished with an alignment pin. Failure to align the camshaft position actuator solenoid to the camshaft position actuator oil control valve can lead to poor engine performance and engine component damage.
2. Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Alignment:
1. Make an alignment pin from drill rod 15/64 inch diameter and at least 50 mm (1.97 in) long.
2. Verify that the alignment pin will pass through the camshaft position actuator solenoid alignment hole.
3. Verify that the alignment pin will fit into the alignment hole in the camshaft position actuator oil control valve.
4. Apply a 2 mm (0.079 in) bead of RTV GM P/N 12378521 (Canadian P/N 88901148) around the flange of the camshaft position actuator solenoid.
5. Install the camshaft position actuator solenoid over the oil control valve.
6. Install the alignment pin through the solenoid alignment hole and into the oil control valve alignment hole.
7. With the alignment pin in place, install the camshaft position actuator solenoid bolts.
NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
Tighten the camshaft position actuator solenoid bolts to 8 N.m (71 lb in).
8. Remove the alignment pin.
9. Install a NEW camshaft position actuator solenoid plug.
10. Connect the electrical connector to the actuator solenoid.
11. Install the power steering reservoir bracket.
