CAMSHAFT POSITION
SENSOR
DESCRIPTION - 4.7L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.7L
V–8 engine is bolted to the front/top of the right cylinder
head (Fig. 4).
REMOVAL - 4.7L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.7L
V–8 engine is bolted to the front/top of the right cylinder
head (Fig. 10).
It is easier to remove/install sensor from under
vehicle.
(1) Raise and support vehicle.
(2) Disconnect electrical connector at CMP sensor
(Fig. 10).
(3) Remove sensor mounting bolt (Fig. 10).
(4) Carefully pry sensor from cylinder head in a
rocking action with two small screwdrivers. Some
4.7L engines are equipped with a sensor spacer
shim. If equipped, this shim will be located at
sensor bolt hole between cylinder head and
sensor mounting tang (TSB W08–18–00). Save
this shim for sensor installation.
(5) Check condition of sensor o-ring.
INSTALLATION - 4.7L
The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) on the 4.7L
V–8 engine is bolted to the front/top of the right cylinder
head (Fig. 10).
(1) Clean out machined hole in cylinder head.
(2) Apply a small amount of engine oil to sensor
o-ring.
(3) Install sensor into cylinder head with a slight
rocking action. Do not twist sensor into position as
damage to o-ring may result.
CAUTION: Before tightening sensor mounting bolt,
be sure sensor is completely flush to cylinder head.
If sensor is not flush, damage to sensor mounting
tang may result.
(4) Install mounting bolt and tighten to 12 N·m
(106 in. lbs.) torque.
(5) Connect electrical connector to sensor.
(6) Lower vehicle.
