good morning

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