Good morning. I attached a picture of the location of both cam sensors for you to view.

Do you have codes that pointed you to the sensor?

Are they mounted on the heads and are they the same as the crank position sensors? The ones you showed me have three wires. Is bank 2 near the oil canister?

Yes, cam 2 is by the oil filter as in the picture. It is a three wire sensor.

No, it is not the same as a crank sensor.
