80. Camshaft Position Sensor Installation

Camshaft Position Sensor Installation





Important: The number one cylinder intake and exhaust valves must be in the closed position.


1. Align the timing mark on the front cover with the TDC mark on the balancer.

Description:

2. Align the spot mark on the camshaft position sensor gear with the paint mark on the camshaft position sensor lower base.




3. Remove the cover from the camshaft position sensor.
4. Use a long flat blade screwdriver to rotate the oil pump driveshaft to engage the tang of the camshaft position sensor drive gear.
5. With the camshaft position sensor in proper alignment, the reluctor wheel cutout should line up with the pointer on the camshaft position sensor housing.





Important: The camshaft position sensor must be completely seated to allow proper engagement of the camshaft position sensor drive gear tang to the oil pump driveshaft. Repeat the installation procedure if the proper alignment is not obtained.


6. Without holding the reluctor wheel, guide the camshaft position sensor into the hole in the intake manifold until the camshaft position sensor is seated. The reluctor wheel will turn clockwise as the camshaft position sensor is lowered into the engine.




7. When properly installed, the reluctor wheel cutout should be in approximately the four o'clock position and should line up with the stamped number "9" on the camshaft position sensor housing.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.

Important: The camshaft position sensor hold down clamp must properly align with the mounting hole in the intake manifold. Repeat the installation procedure if the proper alignment is not obtained.


8. Install the camshaft position sensor hold down clamp and bolt.

Tighten the bolt to 33 Nm (24 lb ft).

9. Install the camshaft position sensor cover and screws. Do not overtighten.

Tighten the screws to 5 Nm (40 lb in).
