camshaft position sensor location

There are four cam sensors on that motor. One for each cam. That year has engine issues with the cams (head design) and sensor wiring/plugs and timing chains. So new sensor may not cure issue. First you have to know which sensor is reading bad before you replace it. You need code to determine that. P0019 crank/cam correlation error. This sounds like timing chain issue. This is a known issue with this year/model. They should replace on their dime. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Yes, exactly during the starting time I here like chain sound for a few seconds. So what I should change? Please reply.

Is it a timing chain or sensor? Let me know and thanks for your time.

Best regards, Ibrahim

They have all 4 sensors from Bosch for $130.00 on Amazon

Worked great in my car

I have a similar issue with my 2007. I had the code read and it came up with the P0017 crankshaft position - exhaust camshaft position correlation bank 1. Timing chain and guides fixed the problem the engine has make noise as well.

I have a 2010 GMC Acadia, code P000a. What location is this sensor?

Hello.

They are in the front of the engine at the cam height, here are two diagrams (below) that show to location.

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Best, Ken

See picture, but it may be the camshaft actuator causing the problem or a clogged screen in actuator. Unplug sensor unbolt and reverse to reassemble. It is for intake cam bank 1 right hand head.

My check engine light comes on periodically. It was diagnosed that the camshaft position sensor was bad. Where is this part located on the engine and is it difficult to replace?

You have four cam sensor's. Which sensor is it? If you give me the exact code number you have I can get you the correct information. It is not too hard to replace.

My Acadia 2010 codes p0011 and p0017.
Where is located?

Check the post seven about this one. It might have to do with the camshaft actuator not working as well, or the oil level is low.


Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.

Hello, i have a 2009 Buick Enclave. It is giving me the code p0017 and it is the camshaft, crankshaft sensor. Sensor b bank 1. Can I please get help in locating where the sensor is? I have already replace on and still did not work. The one I replaced was close to the fire wall.

It is a 3.6 liter four wheel drive.

Check my post above it listed the camshaft sensors and their location sensor bank 1 sensor be would be the second sensor #2 on the diagram V6.

I read your post and viewed the diagrams. But we are having a hard time accessing the sensors on a 2007 GMC Acadia. Can you tell me what I need to remove to access the sensors?

I am not sure what you are saying. Do you mean you cannot get to the sensors or you need to know which tools to use? Can you take a picture and upload it so I can see what you are talking about?

Here is what I am dealing with. Not sure how to get down to the sensors and cannot go up from the bottom.

Thanks for the pictures, but is that the front or rear of the engine GM Arcadia right? It is hard to tell from the pictures.

It is the front left side. It turned the photos.

It is likely you need to remove the electrical cable and power distribution center before you can get to the sensors. Make sure you disconnect the battery first.

I have 2008 Malibu with the same 3.6. Cannot remember the code, but came up as cam shaft sensor. Pulled the front sensor out it was broken. So I replaced it and as soon as you crank the engine it breaks the new sensor. Hand crank the the engine and you can watch and feel it binding up. What could cause this or are there shims for the sensors?

I'm trying to figure out what I need to replace. Getting 4 codes. I bought a cam sensor and plan on buying the other 3 to replace all 4, but if its something else I would like to know. Here are the codes: P0014, P0016, P0011P, P0016P. Hope you can help me and tell me what all I need to replace.

These codes are to do with cam timing problems, known as Camshaft Position Correlation,
I would be thinking that you have a timing chain problem. When the chains start to stretch with age, you will get the cam timing coming out of position, not to the point of doing damage, but enough to start setting codes, check for timing chain stretch first.

I have a 2007 GMC Acadia reading p0017 and p0024, is this a sensor issue. If so which one?

This can be caused by low/dirty engine oil or a broken timing chain guide how does the engine sound? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise, that would be great. You can upload it here with your response. The p0017 is for a correlation issue im not sure a sensor will take care of it. If you like to try its the sensor for bank1.

I will upload a video but basically engine sounds rough, when driving feels like it's losing power, I have a hard time starting it after putting gas in it. While driving sometimes it feels like it's misfiring and will kind of shutter and almost shake. But only last for a minute until I get accelerated.

Could it be a crankshaft sensor?

It does not sound like it, if I could hear the engine I will know for sure. Also is the oil level good and clean?

Hello I have a 2008 outlook xr 3.6 I’m getting codes p0011 p0014 p0021 p0024 I have 4 sensors but I need the location for them
