REMOVAL PROCEDURE

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove spark plug cover on top of valve cover by removing four retaining bolts.

Disconnect electrical connector from the sensor.
Remove drive belt. Refer to Engine Mechanical Section.
Remove top harness cover installed on timing belt cover by removing a retaining screw.
Remove the retaining bolts holding crankshaft pulley, and pull crankshaft pulley while wiggling. Refer to Engine Mechanical Section.

Remove the retaining screws for timing belt cover.

Remove the retaining bolt for the sensor and pull up camshaft position sensor.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Insert camshaft position sensor in position.

Install retaining bolt.
Install the timing belt cover and the retaining screws.
Install the crank shaft pulley and the mounting bolts. Holes for mounting bolts are off the pitch. The pulley can be mounted only one way to install all mounting bolts. Tighten the bolts. Refer to Engine Mechanical section.

Install the drive belt. Refer to Engine Mechanical Section.
Install the top harness cover onto timing belt cover.
Connect electrical connector to the sensor and securely lock it.
Install the spark plug cover.

Connect the negative battery cable.

HERE'S A PIC OF THE LOCATION

THE MEDIC

The camshaft position sensor is located under the front camshaft cover. Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when doing the job and diagrams (Below) to show you how to do the job on your car I have included both 4 and 6 cylinder engines.

Good evening.

It is at the rear of the engine on the left cylinder head.

CMP is located Left Rear cylinder head. When the Hall-effect switch is activated, it grounds the signal line to the PCM, pulling the camshaft position sensor signal circuit's applied voltage low. This is a CMP signal. The CMP signals is created as piston # 1 is approximately 25 ° after top dead counter on the power stroke. If the correct CMP signal is not received by the PCM, DTC P0341 will be set.

It's hidden under the intake manifold on the top side of the left hand cylinder head in the back of the engine. It's possible to remove it without removing the intake but it's a tight fit.

USER NOTES: Not on the passport. You have to remove the intake to get to it. You can barely see the cps

What was the reason for changing the cam sensor? The most common reason replacement could cause problems would be if the cam timing was changed while the sensor was being changed. To check that you would remove the timing belt cover and check the alignment marks as shown in the images. If they line up then it is in time and not the issue, if they don't then the timing is off and needs to be corrected. Hopefully there is no lasting damage as the timing being off could cause the pistons to hit the valves and that would cause at a minimum needing a vale job, or a replacement cylinder head.

Hello,

So the car was running fine just the light came on so you changed the sensor from the code it showed? I would double check the installation and make sure the sensor seated properly and the plug too. The belt itself should not have moved unless something like the tensioner failed and the belt jumped a tooth. Checking the marks that Steve mentioned is a good idea just in case. What was the actual code number so we can verify that was the correct and only thing that the code means.

That would be the place to start. Let us know what you find out.
