Camshaft position sensor replacement?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is a tutorial showing how to replace a camshaft sensor:

I've attached picture steps below relating to camshaft position sensor replacement for your van. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Good afternoon,

The repair was unsuccessful. Whatever they did was not the correct repair.

Codes rarely identify bad parts, just failed systems. Diagnostics have to be done to determine the failure.

What was the exact code that was set?

Roy

That means a code is stored in the module. I need that code to help you.

You can go to a parts store and have them read it for free. Once I know that code, I can get the information on what needs to be checked.

Roy

Okay, Let me check. That code indicates a wiring issue.

Possibilities

P0365
Descriptor
Probable Causes
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B Sensor Wires Shorted
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B Wires Open
Poor Connections or Loose Terminals At Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B and At Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

Flow chart that needs to be followed

DTC P0365: CMP Sensor B No Signal

1. Reset the PCM.
2. Start the engine.

Is DTC P0340, P0341, P0365, P0366 indicated?

YES - Go to step 3.

NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CMP sensor A/B and at the PCM.

3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect the CMP sensor A/B 4P connector.

5. Measure resistance between the terminals of the indicated sensor (see table).

Is there 1,850 - 2,450 Ohms?

YES - Go to step 6.

NO - Replace the CMP sensor A/B.

6. Check for continuity to body ground on both terminals of the indicated sensor individually.

Is there continuity?

YES - Replace the CMP sensor A/B.

NO - Go to step 7.

7. Reconnect the CMP sensor A/B 4P connector.
8. Disconnect PCM connector C (31P).

9. Measure resistance between the terminals of the indicated sensor on the PCM connector (see table).

Is there 1,850 - 2,450 Ohms?

YES - Go to step 10.

NO - Repair open in the indicated sensor wires (see table).

10. Check for continuity between body ground and PCM connector terminals C20 and/or C29 individually.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the indicated sensor wires.

NO - Substitute a known-good PCM and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original PCM.

You are welcome.

Always glad to help.

Here is the camshaft sensor location so you can replace it. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

I attached the procedure for you below for replacing the cam sensor as well as verifying the timing belt marks to be sure the belt is aligned correctly.

2. Remove the front camshaft pulley (CMP sensor pulse plate) (A).
3. Disconnect the CMP sensor connector (B), then remove the back cover (C).

4. Remove the CMP sensor (A) from the back cover.
5. Install the sensor in the reverse order of removal. Install the timing belt.
