Camshaft position sensor help

If it really is the "Cam Sensor"(unlikely) it is more likely a wiring fault to the Cam sensor.
So you need to check for signal at the sensor connector, not just replace the sensor. Access is awful .

Cam Position Sensor Replacement

I replaced both cam sensors. I did not have all 3 codes like you do but after I replaced the passenger side sensor I got a code for the drivers side sensor. I replaced that and the code would not go away. So I took it to a indy shop and they found the passenger side cam positioning solenoid was bad. They replaced it and I have been code free for over a year.


Edit: I did not have to remove anything except move the AOS out of the way for either sensor.

If I can figure how to disconnect the lines to them and check their voltage, I will try that first. Again, I still cannot figure how to get in there to disconnect them. Looks like another evening trying to figure this out. Thanks for the assist.

Thanks. If I can figure how to get my meat hooks on them, I will start here.

I've replaced 2 of them on my 2003. Swapped them and sure enough, the code followed the sensor around.
