Good afternoon,

Can I have the code number that was set? There is no code for a camshaft. There are codes for camshaft sensors.

Once I know the code, I can help guide you for the diagnostic.

1. Remove the power steering pump. Refer to Power Steering Pump Replacement (LZ4/LZE/LZ9) (See: Power Steering Pump > Removal and Replacement > Power Steering Pump Replacement).
2. Disconnect the camshaft position (CMP) sensor electrical connector.
3. Remove the CMP sensor bolt.
4. Remove the CMP sensor.
5. Inspect the sensor O-ring for wear, cracks, or leakage if the sensor is not being replaced.
