Good morning,

The sensor is below the water pump pulley on the front of the motor. Remove the electrical connector and the 1 bolt that secures it and remove the sensor.

Why are you replacing it?

Roy

1. Remove the coolant recovery reservoir.
2. Remove the drive belt.
3. Disconnect the electrical connector (2) from the camshaft position sensor (1).

Was there a code for this? This is not a common part for failing.
