Asked on January 3, 2012

2007 dodge sprinter 3.5 gas engine, how do i replace a camshaft adjuster sensor. Where is it located exactly? Can I get a diagram and details.

My sprinter has check engine light with code p0014/p0015 which from my understanding is a camshaft adjuster sensor (retard) I currently am unemployed and try to do all repairs and maintenance myself ( if doable)
I would like to know if I can get a diagram, or exact location of this sensor, and specific details step by step of what I need to do to replace it.

Thank you

that vehicle needs special scanner to accurately retrieve codes.

I had 3 seperate mechanics check it, and all 3 said the same thing, that it is a camshaft sensor.

what they failed to say is whether it is exhaust or intake valve cam sensor.

I'm sorry to say this, but I don't know what kind of experts you all are, I have a chilton service manual, and even in this book it shows and discusses about a camshaft position senssor. So again I do not know where you all are telling me all of this. Not satisfied at all...

there are 4 sensors 2 per end of each head. they are held in by 1 bolt quite easy to remove.

Thank you for the diagram, however is there a website I can go to, to look at a larger clearer (more specific) picture?
